Hi there Janicholson.

To answer your questions, or at least raise a few more of them...

I purchased the tractor in December, and I really didnt have a chance to try out the clutch (or notice how its not right) until a few weeks ago when I was trying to play with it to hook up some JD#5 mowers I bought for it. So, as far as I know, its been this way since I got it. Its not getting worse, but it does seem like sometimes I can engage the clutch smoothly, and other times it just grabs on me.

I realized after re-reading my previous post that I wasnt very clear about what I was saying for "end of stroke". If the tractor is moving, I can push in the clutch about two inches and it will stop. The "end of stroke" I mean is that when I release the clutch, I can pick my foot almost all the way back up before it will engage, and there isnt anything gradual about it. It just seems to catch right at the end.

As of right now, Im in VA and my tractor is in NY, but I hope to get back up there around the 4th of July so I can make this adjustment/tear into things. I wanted to try and put out some feelers/ask for advice now so I knew what I was getting myself into before I started the project. It would be a bad thing to tear the clutch out of my tractor and then leave it sitting half done.

Thanks for the tips, Ill make sure to post how things look, and hopefully get some pics while Im at it. Someone might be able to tell me if Im looking at a need for lots of parts or not....

And as a side note, I thought I had read on here that a good trick for the belly pump is to pull a few of the bolts, screw some threaded rod into the holes, and then tighten back up with nuts on the threaded rod. Then remove the other bolts, and slowly back the nuts down so that the pump will lower gradually. Any idea if that will work, or is that just a waste of time?

Thanks already, and Im sure more will be due before too long...
