Started the old 50 after several months, and the clutch would not disengage. Looked in the transmission oil hole. Looked empty. Is it? Manual says it holds eight gallons. How can I tell if is over full? Then what is the deal with the cotter oin in the pan?? That thing even shows in the manual, but it doesn't talk about it.

The transmission, hydraulic & differential are all one big reservoir you check them all 3 with the dipstick in the access plate on the right side of the rear center housing. If you have a big open area where you can start the tractor in gear you might be able shake he clutch disc loose by holding the clutch pedal down while driving the tractor & stomping the brakes. If I can be of further help Email me.

Thanks Big Dean. That was a heck of a ride, but it worked. I had plenty of oil. Glad I didn"t start pouring another few gallons in there.

The next question is what do I do to keep that from happening? Although it sounds like it may be fairly common.

Hi Warren,
Are you talking about the split pin (cotter) in the underside of the clutch housing? If so it is there to allow any oil that leaks from the transmission or engine rear crank seal to escape before it gets on the clutch. A plain hole would block up. The engine vibration tends to make the pin move a little and any oil is allowed to drain. It is a good idea to turn it once a week or so to check that there is no oil collecting.
If you split the tractor to do the clutch for example the inside of the housing should always be cleaned.

Thanks David P. Shows how green I am. Until I saw it in the book I thought it was a sick joke. Your explanation and suggestion make me feel better. Big dean's tip worked to un-hang the clutch. This forum gets quite a work out!
