Need help! After my TO-30 sat for 6 months, it surprisingly started right up. Then I found out I couldn't shift. It is acting like I am not depressing the clutch pedal when shifting. Do I (gulp) have to split the tractor to work on the clutch? Tips?

It ran fine before I parked it.

Hey Freddie mabye we need to know a little more info about what it is doing, is the tractor stuck in a gear and wont come out or does it seem like the clutch pedal is not pushing the throw-out bearing or does the clutch pedal feel like it always has and you just cant get it in any gear while its running without scraping?????

I start the TO-30 by using the gear lever. Once engine is running and clutch pedal depressed, I can't shift into any gears because I can hear and feel the transmission gears grinding. Clutch pedal has tension on it, meaning pressure plate is fine. We jump started the tractor on 4th gear and I pretty much rode on the clutch pedal and brakes hoping for clutch slippage. No luck.

If it will shift when the engine is not running,then start it in gear and horse the throttle back and forth. If it won't shift, it can usually be freed up by prying the gear through the oil fill. You should see Big Deans web sight. Good Luck: Mike

Hey Freddie, try this if it's just the clutch disc stuck to the flywheel this should work, put some kind of ground engaging implement on it (plow, etc.) select the highest gear possible that it will still pull the implement in and start the tractor in that gear (be careful) then go to work and all the while have the clutch pedal pushed in (disengaged) the theory is the resistance to move the tractor by the implement being in the ground and the engine still trying to move the tractor will create slippage somewhere (hence the higher gear so the tires wont do the slipping) and since the clutch pedal is pushed in the only place it can slip is the clutch disc. Good Luck

Hey Smokey, I highly doubt its gonna hook up that good, if nothing dont slip it will choke the engine since he's in a higher gear.

The first thing that I would check is your freeplay on your cluth pedal. My TEA 20 sticks around the sleeve where the shaft enters the clutch housing. When it does that, I remove the clutch petal, spray it with WD40 on both sides of housing and work the shaft loose, reinstall petal and set set my throwout clearance and carry on.
Putting an implement into the ground can`t help if your petal has slipped on the shaft.

You hit the nail on the head. My uncle had a MF165 that he claim that the clutch was out. He was trying to sell the tractor for that reason. After getting no offers, I made him one in hopes of him selling it to me. He knew that I was up to something. After a couple of days, he called and ask what I would charge to correct the problem. His clutch shaft had rusted and the clutch petal slipped. A 99 cent can of WD40 was all he needed and adjusted the clutch.

Just to let you know that I ended up splitting the tractor in half to get to the clutch. Sure enough, the clutch disc was sticking to the flywheel. With a trusty old screw driver, it came off easy.

I want to thank all who responded to my call for help. You guys are great!

Happened to my TO-35. Got real concerned when she wouldnt shift. Acted like it was jammed. After I ruled out a few suspecions, and had the oil filler cap off I was able to use a small prybar to slide (one notch back)the first rod exposed. Sorry I cant think of the name of that bar/rod in the tranny. My parts book in out in the tool shed. But once I clicked it back a notch, all was fine in the world. Wont worry about that again. Good Luck.
