I needed to replace parts in the clutch of my cub during restoration, as the clutch was not working at all when I bought it. I separated the tractor and installed all new parts, then put it all back together. When I first started it up, the clutch worked fine and I could shift to all the gears with no problems. However, when I first drove the tractor, I could no longer shift gears.
I can start the tractor in gear, and it doesn"t lurch forward at all. Plus, if I am driving the tractor on level ground and push in the clutch pedal, the tractor stops. However, if I try to shift to another gear with the engine still running, there is grinding and it won"t shift.
I asked a neighbor of mine who also has a cub, and he said that he"s had the same problem with his cub ever since he replaced clutch parts over 8 years ago, and he just shuts off his tractor to shift gears.
I don"t want to have to take this to a shop to have it fixed, but I"m a relative novice when it comes to this stuff. This is my second tractor restoration, but the first one went to a shop for transmission and clutch work. I spent some time today reaching up through the access hole to verify the torque on the bolts and adjust the free travel in the release bearing, but to no avail.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what I could try, or what the problem might be?

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
