I have a clutch problem on my 2550 that I really need to diagnose.
For some unknown reason, the input shaft is not stopping completely when I press in the clutch most of the time. Not all the time. Happens more at high speed. Causes gear grinding. Was at the dealer talking about it and they suggested I adjust the free-play (already did). As an experiment, suggested I back off the free play all the way to see if it changes the issue, but not use it that way.
Said the only way to really tell will be to split it. Could be clutch, throwout bearing or the pilot bearing. I have access covers that I can look into. Is there anything else to check or is a split in the future?
What is the usual cost of a split to find out what is really going on. I don't have the where-with-all to split this heavy of a tractor.
According to when I bought the tractor from the same dealer 3 years ago, they had replaced the clutch a few years prior. Don't know if it is true or not, but suspect that the clutch is not that worn.
Not a good issue to deal with at the start of haying season...
