I have a 4020 diesel Synro Shift Serial #68387. Seems the clutch will not release. The tractor was working fine about 4 weeks ago and has been parked under a shelter. When I went to start it today it cranked up but I could not get it to go in gear. I had the clutch pedal pushed in but was grinding the gears like the clutch was not releasing.
Being me, I decided to put it in reverse and crank it to get it out of the shed and see if I could get the clutch to release. That worked fine until I needed to stop. With the clutch pedal all in the tractor keep pulling so I tried hitting the breaks and it just pulled harder. I killed the engine and put it in 1st gear and cranked it back up and drove it a bit with the clutch pedal pushed in and hitting the breaks no luck breaking it free.
Is there something I can look at or do short of splitting the tractor to free it? I know it probably needs a new clutch but was hoping I could wait a bit before I took on that project.
Any help would be great
