I think I found the real culprit. The 2 plates that actually disengage the clutch when it's depressed are sheared off on one of the fingers.
Does this require a complete dis-assembly of the clutch to fix?
After getting the tractor split with some pointers from my dad and Jerry:
I found this laying at the bottom of the bell housing.
It was missing from here:
It looks like the cotter pin pulled out from the top side, where it makes a 180 degree bend. The hole wasn't elongated or appeared damaged, neither did the "shims" or other clip.
Anything else to look at while I'm in there? The throw-out bearing spins nice and free and there doesn't appear to be any other leakage.
Hopefully I can get the backyard finished before it goes home!
Doesn't actually look like much to do, but that's a lot of wheelbarrows full of dirt and rocks to haul into the woods!
Thanks again,
Eric
