My dad has a Ford 600 that always sits outside (grrrrrr). I went to use it last weekend and the clutch seemed to be stuck. I looked in the
archives and found some things to try. I rocked the tractor back and forth with it in gear and the clutch pedal down with it not running. I
tried to start it in high gear with the clutch pedal down. I tried to start it in reverse with the clutch pedal down. It did start. The
tractor already had the 6' disc on it so I got it to start in first gear and went out and disced up some corn stalks for about an hour. Was
able to play with the throttle and got it to shift into second gear. Jammed on the brakes a few times left and right with the clutch pedal
down, darn near killed the tractor. All this with the clutch pedal down and clutch did not pop loose. What other suggestions do you have and
what is my next step? Really don't want to split the tractor if I don't have to.
