I just acquired a '57 or '58 641 Workmaster and to my dismay the clutch is not engaging.
When it is not running, the clutch pedal seems to catch and I am able to operate the clutch. Once the motor is running the pedal hits the floor and any attempt to get the lever to catch again results only in rattling and noise.
I pulled off the one of the pins in the linkage to try and isolate the issue and noticed that there's significant slop in the shaft that enters the tractor body and I can pull it out almost an inch as seen in the photo. Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?
