55 Case 500 Clutch doesnt disengage

Hello Everyone,

I asked for advice on this page about 6 months ago about this tractor and a snowblower that came with it. I bought them, fixed them up a bit and boy did that snow fly off my driveway! I am still very pleased with my purchase. The old beast purrs and oil is clear as honey. However, a few minor problems:

1) when chugging along, lately when you pull you hand clutch to disengage, even in 1st gear and just above idle the clutch doesnt seem to let go ie. still moving forward- it takes a tap on the brakes to break it loose. Is this something minor or major? What should I keep an eye on or do?

2) no 3 pt hitch, just a drawbar. Is there anyway to modify this to a 3 pt hitch for a plow? The hydraulics work good. Is there any point? Can I get implements like this for this drawbar style of hook up?

3) What year did Case start the differential lock for this model of tractor? Anyone know?

Your thoughts are appreciated,
john
