1943 Farmall H Clutch problem (see original message 22 Sept 11): Well, it WAS stuck. I removed the loader and dropped the hydraulic pump out of the H. I found nothing that looked like a problem, except that the clutch release sleeve carrier was missing one of its two bolts. I replaced the bolt, but nothing changed -- the problem persisted (as I kinda guessed it would -- the missing bolt did not appear to have that much affect on the clutch operations, but you never know). Anyway, I spent a while tightening various fasteners within the clutch housing and noticed the hole directly under the flywheel. I wanted to see why I would need this and put a pipe wrench on the clutch shaft to turn it, having first blocked the clutch pedal to the disengaged position and with the transmission in neutral. I turned the shaft three or four turns, when suddenly, it got much easier to turn. My first thought was "what the H did I just break?", but then I realized that the clutch had finally popped loose! And I have regained normal functioning of the clutch! And I did it without turning the tractor over! Hah! It's been a good day. Thanks again, guys, for all your help!
