B21 Clutch Problem?

[RobbieBones]

B21 1,100 hrs 2007. I'm the second owner purchased it with 600 or so hrs. Today while going up slight incline machine started screeching and grinding. Putting it in neutral the noise is not as bad, put the clutch down noise is much worse. Is there a way to diagnose that it's the clutch not the tranny? Forward and back pedal feels slightly funky but not sure if it's not because the clutch won't engage. Tractor will not move at all. Need help has its stuck on someone else's yard.

Sounds like a clutch issue since pressing the pedal makes the noise worse.
Either way, you need to tow it somewhere you can split it.

I did a clutch job and my 1989 wrangler. How bad is the B21 clutch job?

 

[Spanner]

I guess you didn't need to split the Wrangler in half?

Other than that, pretty similar.

When you say split the tractor, you mean the tranny from the engine? Or split has in down the middle?

Trans/Engine. Front/Back halves to access the clutch.

Need to remove front loader?

On a tractor as small as a B21 a split should be relatively easy.
Probably should have a good repair manual, before beginning the project.

No doubt.

Not necessary but helps with access to engine etc.
