Took a look at a tractor for a friend/hay customer. It's a Ford Nh 6640 with cab, shuttle shift transmission, if I remember a 3 speed with 3 ranges. They were using it yesterday brush hogging pastures, 10 foot mower, everything fine. Today the clutch acted up from start up, wouldn't release she said. I tested after checking where everything is (I'm not familiar with FordNH) so I didn't damage building it's in if things went south. This is what I had happening : clutch initially releases, after 15-20 seconds re-engages and tractor starts to move, put shuttle shift in neutral all is stopped ; after holding clutch pedal down for any length of time it doesn't want to come up on its own, need to start it up with my toe then comes up.I did see that it is a cable clutch, not a rod type linkage (like an IH has).
Is this a fluid power clutch? If so, where does fluid come from? Separate dedicated reservoir? Could it be something with clutch itself or more likely a cable issue?
Will do some searching on the net, but any insights would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
