1950 A not pulling under load (Help!)

I was plowing with my 50 A today and when I would get in tough soil when a very heavy load was put on the tractor she would just quit pulling without spining the tires. It did not stall it would just stop turning the tires over and continue running. I thought maybe it could be the clutch out of adjustment but it has the distinct snap when engaged. I can tell even in fourth gear you can hit the brakes a little and she wants to quit pulling and before it started acting up it would out pull the brakes in fourth gear. I thought if the clutch was slipping there would be some smoke coming from it but there was none. Any suggestions on trouble shooting this problem would be appreciated. Thanks.

My 46 A did the same thing the first time I tripped the 2-16s into the dry rocky soil of some terraces that I was plowing down. I adjusted the clutch and got it to pull better, tight spots of bermuda grass and tree roots still stopped the A, the clutch also slipped in 6th gear while climbing the mountain on the road home. Will tighten the nuts one slot and will also count th threads to make sure all three are turned down evenly.Good luck will post back if it works.

Most likely, your clutch is slipping. Try to determine that the adjusting nuts are evenly adjusted, then tighten them one castellation at a time and try the clutch. You should get a real snap when it is engaged. Book says it should require about 40 to 80 pounds of pressure at the end of the clutch lever to engage the clutch.

BB:

When the tires stop turning, does the clutch pulley stop also? If the clutch is slipping, then the pullet will not turn. If the pulley is turning, then the first reduction gear should be turning, and then so on in to the the transmission.

Unless there is a broken key somewhere allowing a gear to turn freely on a shaft.
