Have a 1971 gas industrial with 3cy Perkins. Hi-lo with 3 speeds. No multipower. Noticed that the shuttle gears seem to drag, like the clutch is not 100% letting go. Has a moderate engine leak out the bottom of the bell housing. I have pretty much surmised that oil is on the clutch and causing it to drag a bit. Not a real issue on a regular tractor, but this has a loader and shuttle is used frequently. I don't like feeling it grind for a second or two every time I use the shuttle. So hoping for some advice.
1) Could this pan gasket leak cause oil to get on clutch?
2) How long to split for decent experienced shadetree mechanic?
3) Does this trick or pinning the clutch down when not in use work on situations like this? Sure beats splitting the tractor if that will work.
Tractor only has 1600hrs on it. Just replaced the old leather axle seals so I assume like those, my main seals just got old.
