Got a 1945 Oliver 70 about 2 months ago. Didn't run at time, but I rebuilt carb, changed oil, and rewired the old girl and runs great now! Unfortunately, when I tried to back her out of the shop to play with her I couldn't get her into gear. Revved her up, then down again and was able to slip into reverse. Got out of the shop and was literally standing on the clutch pedal trying to get into gear. Could not get her into gear. Gears just ground. Is my throwout bearing trash? Is the clutch plate rusted fast? I dunno what to do? Was going to try and just spray penatrating oil everywhere? What do you fellas think is wrong? Thanks for any help.

Don't know if it was just a peculiarity of the beast, but I had an International that the clutch would stick whenever it rained or was humid. Found if I started it in reverse gear, then depressed the clutch, it would come loose- but in a forward gear, would never break loose.

You can take the cover plate off on top of the bell housing. While holding the clutch pedal down try to pry a putty knife between the clutch and the flywheel and then between the clutch and the pressure plate. This will free up the clutch disc if it is stuck. It is a good chance this is the problem. This is a simple fix on a 70.

I have a 1939 Oliver 70 and the clutch stuck on it. I used the putty knife and it worked. It hasn't stuck again.

I powerwashed my 990 GM once and let it set with the clutch engaged for about 3 days. It stuck like crazy glue. I tried hooking it to something, my 730 JD , started it up in 2 gear rode for about 30 min. no luck. If it is possible take the drive shaft lose ,slide bell housing back and loosen pressure plate, take a pry bar and pry on the friction plate. Somebody else may know a better way. J Mann

It's probably just stuck from sitting. You can take the top cover off and see it pretty clearly. Try hooking it to something that won't move, get it in gear, hold in the clutch and see if it breaks loose. Don't hook onto anything right at ground level, because the angle of the chain from the drawbar will lift the frt wheels. Another possibility is get it into a pretty high gear, slow it down, press in the clutch and open the throttle. I have a Cockshutt 99 that had a stuck clutch because the sliders were rusted, but a 70 clutch isn't built that way. Good luck, feel free to email.
