NOt sure on tractors, but it is not uncommon for shade tree guys to put the clutch plate in facing the wrong way. Everything goes together fine, but the clutch wont disengage. Most rebuilt clutch plates have a sticker that says this side to flywheel. Did your replacement have such a thing?

If everything is assembled right and the adjustment is maxed out and it still won't go in gear it is possible that the lever to the throw out bearing shaft is broken on one side and is allowing the lever to bend instead of turn the shaft when pressure is applied. This is going to be on the bottom side of the lever. Look closely at the attaching point of the lever to the shaft to make sure it is completely intact.

I have run into this several times over the years and it will make you say your Sunday school words trying to find out what is wrong.

I think Dell is right, but make sure your adjustment is right, I replaced mine and had the same problem, just had to adjust the clutch then she worked great. Good luck.

Joel..... .you're not going to like what I think is your problem is and I think you know already know it too. This is to confirm what you suspect, you're gonna have to split your tractor again because your clutch fork has slipped out of your throwout bearing clip. Not the first time and won't be the last time..... .Dell
