I have a 1947 8N that I'm very pleased with, but
the clutch seems to stick about halfway down,
which requires me to pull it back up with my foot
before the clutch will engage. This is a real problem
when loading or unloading a trailer and quite a pain
when bush hogging. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Bryan Campbell

Wait till it rains. Wiggle them back and forth and all around. Pull them up and out. Use your legs, not your back.

I have removed hundreds this way. Takes about 30 seconds per 4x4 post. I am doing 50 this way every weekend.

No back problems.

Sorry, I didn't read your post carefully. You said the clutch will not engage until you pull up on the pedal. This is not the return springs. As others have said its the linkage or pressure-plate. EEA

I concur that it is probably a broken clutch plate spring or a broken or bent clutch arm, unless there is some obviuos binding on your clutch footpeddle or linkage. If you have to split the tractor, while your in there may as well replace the throw-out and pilot bearings and the friction disk and take a good look at the ring gear and flywheel.

Sounds like a classic case of restricted fuel supply. The engine takes in more gas then is getting to the carburetor and goes lean. You choke it to compensate, eventually the float bowl gets so low the engine dies. Gasoline continues to trickle in from the fuel take, and by the time you get done examining other things the carburetor float bowl is once again filled up. The tractor then starts, and the cycle begins anew.

Work your way up from the carburetor to the tank itself examining for restrictions and blockage.
