OK, after one blade knocking 4 holes in the radiator I removed the radiator and decided to replace the water pump while I had the chance. Going to pull it around under the carport to pressure wash the front end. Went to push the clutch in and the brake....tractor kept wanting to go.
Oh oh. Hit the brake and stalled it......whew.
Time to split.......again.
Got it split, started removing the pressure plate (so I could get to the pilot bearing) and something falls out. Oh no.
One of the springs in the disk has failed as well as some other component that makes up the disk. Parts rolled around enough to put a dish in the center.
I replaced everything in there about 13 years ago with what I thought were quality parts. So much for that.
Going back with the whole clutch kit. Hopefully it will live longer than me this time.
