Back in September of 2016 I cracked the pressure plate on my to35. I have been dealing with leaks on the tractor and dropped it of with a friend that works on tractors on the side. Long story short he did a full engine overhaul and replaced the pressure plate.
The tractor seemed fine and has been working past few weeks when I received it in early July of 17. We drove it around been babying it breaking it in.
I just put a post hole digger on it. 1st time using the PTO since getting it back. Neighbor came over and we put 4 holes in. everything works like it should. I ended up running out of the old gas and then put new gas in it and started her back up to put away for the night.
This is where the problems started. She started right up but now it seemed as if the brakes were on. I checked and they were not. I put it in low reverse. Same thing. I put it in low 1st same thing tractor seemed locked. I then figured that the brakes would give so I slowly started leaving off the clutch and then heard a loud crack.
He is coming to get the tractor this weekend. I am guessing that the pressure plate snapped again but not really sure.
I disconnected the post hole digger last night and found that the PTO engages. clutch pedal up it spins, 1/2 way down it spins, clutch pedal to the floor the PTO stops spinning.
going thru the gears it doesnt matter if I push pedal in or leave it up. the gears shift freely.
my questions are
1. could the PTO cause the Clutch problem?
2. do you think the pressure plate snapped again?
3. I replaced the entire clutch, fly wheel and throwout bearing back in 2009 and only had oil leaks up until this.
