I was out finishing up mowing and was working in some very thick brush. I was backing the tractor uphill into the thick brush until it came close to stalling out then going forward, backing up again, going forward, etc., etc. Giving the M a pretty good workout. After about an hour the clutch started giving me problems. If the tractor was still moving at all the clutch wouldn't completely engage to allow me to shift into gear. I had to put on the brake to stop the tractor then I was able to put it in gear. I have an overrunning clutch on the pto shaft so the tractor doesn't creep on me with the clutch engaged but I don't think that has anything to do with my problem does it? Then it got worse to the point where even with the tractor stopped I wasn't able to get it in gear. :-/ With the clutch pushed all the way in I would go to put it in gear and the gears would still be turning and the gears would start grinding. I ended up having to turn the tractor off, then I was able to shift it into gear, push in the clutch and start it, then drove the tractor to the house. Once I got back to the house everything seemed fine again and I was able to switch between gears without any problems. Did I overheat the clutch? What do I need to do? Cross my fingers and hope everything is okay? Thanks, Nathan

He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
