It's an over-the-center style clutch (meaning all the pressure is at the middle of the stroke, with rest on both sides), pull back to disengage (stop forward motion) and push forward to engage (continue tractor motion). This assumes you are in gear and your foot is off the clutch.

If it's just slipping (tractor will not drive at all) you can try increasing the pressure on the clutch assy by tightening the large nut under the side plate on the clutch. Book says should require 25-40lbs of pressure to move the handle. If you have pleanty of pressure, you might have all the teeth stripped off the fibre discs which will need to be replaced. There will be either 3 or 4 in your setup (Super M or straight M) but good luck finding them. I've heard rumors of them being offered various places, but no solid leads so far. We had to make a set several years ago probably would have cost less to pull the clutch and put all the original parts back from a salvage yard.
