As I take it, tractor has been idleing, you jump on and attempt to put in gear. If it is taking more than 5-10 seconds for transmission to stop turning you have something wrong. My immediate reaction is that your clutch disc is sticking on shaft, just enough so it will not come away from flywheel. I had this happen once, right after I had a new clutch and presure plate installed. If your tractor has sat for a lot of years or someone has installed a new clutch without thoroughly cleaning shaft and lubricating with white grease ( type used by auto industry on door hinges, etc.)

You may have to split tractor and do this. Be carful not to use too much grease, as you don't want it getting on clutch disc facing. If your hand is small enough, and you can keep direction of spray right you might try a spray type lub., through hole on bottom of clutch housing. The danger here is getting spray on clutch facings. I also doubt that you will get enough lub. in the right place to have a lasting effect. 130 isn't that hard to split, just cut some good wood wedges to put in front axle pivot before you start. That offset engine can be a handful.

This is not something you will have to do regularly. As soon as your new clutch wears in on old shaft it will be fine, unless tractor is left sitting for 5 years or more and rust sets in on shaft and clutch disc. I have split these little tractors many times, if you have any questions please e-mail me. I have changed a clutch in one of these tractors in 4 hours. ( not always mind you.)
