If everything is right in clutch, gears should not grind after 2-3 seconds in the winter and 3-5 seconds when it is warmer. A couple of common problems I have found that make them "grinders" are a sticky pilot bearing and clutch dust and rust building up inside the flywheel. Another common problem is the clutch disk not sliding away from the flywheel when the clutch disk is released because of either rust or a buildup of crud on the input shaft. In all 3 cases, it is a cheap fix. In extreme cases, the input shaft have serious grooves worn in it from the clutch disk that it drags on the flywheel when released. This is more common in tractors with a TA, but I have almost never seen it on the older ones. Rick
