I picked up a one-owner, very clean 8430 from an estate sale with a clutch that won't release. 7k hours. It looks like the previous owner started looking at the clutch valves on the left side
of the tractor prior to his passing. I bought it expecting it to need a clutch, but as I get started was wondering what other things could cause this. The clutch pedal cable is moving the
valve arm, but the tractor cannot be put into gear although the synchronizers will try if you apply pressure to the gear selector. They were moving it around by starting it in gear and that's
the way I drove it home, so no clutch slipping of any kind. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
