NH tc40 clutch

[blackhardt]

Hello folks. I have a 2006 TC40 that is having a clutch problem. The clutch doesn't disengage. Anyone have an idea on how I might fix this without splitting the tractor in half and replacing the clutch? Thanks for any advice you might have.

Do you store the tractor outside. If so moisture may have caused the clutch to stick to the flywheel. If it's stuck you could try to get up to road speed and while holding the clutch down slam on the brakes. You could also chain the tractor to a tree and bounce it a couple times while holding the clutch. Tractors like to be stored in your barn.

Thanks for the advice. This machine is kept outside. I'd certainly keep it inside of I could but have no place for that. I've already tried both of those remedies and neither have worked. I guess a clutch job is in my future.

I have had this happen and park my machine under cover. It only sat for about 30days. I block the clutch lever when parking for a while now.

Are you sure the linkage is moving before the trans? What's happening is the disc is stuck to the pressure plate or the flywheel. Really the only way to free it up with out splitting the machine is to load it up real good. Try taking off in a higher gear then it should. It may take many tries.
