Hey John, I was reading your response when the snail mail came. In the mail was the manual I ordered.. You and the manual say the same thing.... So I'll use it like the machine has a hydraulic clutch. The manual confirms there is an adjustment for declutch/clutch cycle time. The manual recommends the cycle should take 1.25 seconds for the whole cycle and currently the machine seems to run the cycle almost instantly. I'll look to get it adjusted ASAP... I do dwell on your thought of pressure leak down/no ground travel at idle... It idles smooooth at 450RPM and when I thought it was possibly torque converter drive when RPM got up to 600RPM's it was like stall speed on a torque converter had been reached.. The operating RPM's per manual is 1500-2500.. Locking up the clutches at 600RPM well below the operating RPM range may or may not be significant...and/or just a sign of the tractors age/hours. Fortunately I'm not making a living with it.. A little brush hogging and some snow control is all there is in its future so hopefully I'll be fine for some time...

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
