My '72 MF135 diesel has been stuck in the mud since December, and I finally got it out today with a 12000lb winch that I mounted on the front (I broke an 8000lb comealong trying to move it a few weeks ago.) Getting it out was a little scary, because the clutch stopped working. As soon as I pop it in gear the wheels start spinning, whether the clutch is in or out. What could have happened? My first guess is rust, but I'm not very familiar with these clutches. This model has an independent PTO, so it doesn't have the 2-stage clutch. Any advice or opinions welcome, but don't bother with "shouldn't have left it in the mud all winter, ya moron", that was unavoidable, and broke my heart. This tractor is at our house that burned, and they're building us a new house, but not being there, having many tools and supplies in storage, etc, has been a nightmare.
FWIW, it looks like a little beast with the winch on the front!
