Just recently bought this tractor, and am looking for advice before tearing into the clutch. The clutch engages just like it should when pushing the handle forwards. When pulling it back, it will disengage, but then when I pull it all the way back to stop the belt pulley, it seems to 'slightly reengage'. If I have it in gear, it will try to move the tractor forwards, but since the pulley brake is against the pully at this time, its also trying to stop the crank from spinning. With it in Neutral, it will bog the motor down, but not come anywhere near stopping the belt pulley. The clutch initially slid in without hardly any effort, so I adjusted it to get the standard 'pop' hoping that would correct it, but the problem is still there. Can just worn plates cause this, or am I looking at something more serious? I've never been in one of these clutches, but I've never heard of one doing this. Thanks for any suggestions.
