Can't get the clutch to fully disengage on my Dad's 444.
I took the inspection plate off and it looks like a dual clutch to me. I have to stand on the clutch all the way for the PTO to stop. If I put the tractor in gear with the clutch depressed, it starts to move without releasing the clutch.
I measured the gap on the clutch adjustment, I got .062" on all 3 bolts.
Maybe the videos will help diagnose:
Pedal operation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzOznYvgcJo
Pedal depressed when cranking:

Tractor creeping when pedal fully depressed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOD5FAeCqmY
I am assuming the clutch disc I can see form the bottom is the PTO clutch, the trans clutch is buried further towards the flywheel?
Also, I readjusted the free play so that from the first vid, the fingers are not always in contact with the throw-out bearing, didn't make any difference.
What does it mean when a clutch won't fully disengage?
I pretty much have to split this thing correct?
