I have the same thing on my Case 430LCK tractor. The manual clutch lever seems to have a detent inside that it is supposed to hold the lever forward. (I am guessing)It may be worn. We put a bungee cord on the lever to hold it forward. It sounds stupid but it worked. Later, I took off the bungee and the lever seems to be holding satisfactorily. However, I now have a problem with my tractor not having reverse gear. I was grading some crushed concrete (1"s and 2"s, in a hurry, using the differential lock repeatedly for more traction. All of a sudden with no noise or warning, when I moved the gear shift lever into reverse, nothing--no reverse. Forward gears work, but no reverse. I thought it may be the manual clutch partially engaged (or disengaged)or the lever that controls the 3 speeds: H, L or D (I guess High, Low or Direct)possibly slipping to a neutral position. I just read on another website that I may have violated several deadly sins when operating a Case tractor: I was jamming my foot down on the differential lock pedal while moving and I was shifting rapidly from forward to reverse, and we have had an oil leak of hydraulic/transmission fluid. I am hoping that no serious damage occured and that maybe there is some simple fix. Any ideas. (Our nearest and best Case tractor repair facility is backlogged over 2 weeks and trying desparately to hire a new tractor mechanic.)
