MAK 0 #1 Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone, There is something wrong with my clutch. I was cutting the steep bank in my yard in low range, up the bank and I would push the clutch in to drift back and then repeat back up and then drift back down while the tranny was still in forward gear. I don't know by doing this is what caused the problem because I had just bought the tractor. The problem is, sometimes when I depress the clutch firmly down all the way, when stopped, to go to another gear, I'll start to let out the clutch and the belt starts to squeal like something is locked up. I'll play around with the gear box, put it into neutral, push the clutch pedal some and then put it into gear then it will be alright. does anybody understand what this problem could be? Thanks a million for any help. John Edited August 14, 2016 by MAK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,812 #5 Posted August 14, 2016 Lane Huls Just a personal observation. I think you need to finish the garage before you get to many tractors and you will have to make room some where else. Nice line up. Nice Bronco by the way. Hard to find these.

N3PUY 1,031 #6 Posted August 14, 2016 I had a similar problem. Sometimes the transmission would lock-up. Found a broken bolt in the transmission. The bolt would sometimes wedge between a gear and the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don1977 605 #7 Posted August 14, 2016 That model came with a gas-spring as Toro call it. To keep the clutch from engaging too quickly. That could cause the belt squeal as you are using it to stop the tractor before going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
