Ford 660 losing power

michaelE · Aug 20, 2018

I can't figure out why I seem to lose power after an hour or so of pulling brush-cutter. Tractor starts perfect, runs fine, then after some time it seems to struggle pulling, it does not quit, just seems to pull much slower, the rpms do not decrease, it does not smoke or skip, it just seems to slow down.

Is your temp gauge working good? Does it seem like your engine is bogging down, losing rpm ? Your clutch aint slippng is it?

Temp gauge seems to be working, it starts out on the low end, after warming up it is in the middle, I don't think the clutch is slipping, though I am not certain I would tell, it runs smooth even on flat ground, just doesn't seem to have any power,

Maintaining RPMs but slowing down is usually because you are spinning, but you would know that. So otherwise most likely the clutch is slipping.

Well that is not what I wanted to hear, I guess that means clutch replacement? Is there any adjustment?

The only external adjustment is pedal free-play. It should be 1.5 inches at the pedal.
