    ford/new holland 1715 clutch issue

    Thanks for the feedback. I would have to start the tractor while it's in gear and don't know how well that will work, it doesn't start easily anyway. Could the same thing be accomplished by towing the tactor and working the clutch pedal at the same time? Have a nice day.

    ford/new holland 1715 clutch issue

    Sorry it took me so long to respond, my computer hasn't been my friend lately. I thought that was the throw-out bearing I was hearing. I've had to change them in a stick shift before.

    ford/new holland 1715 clutch issue

    Sorry it took me so long to respond my computer is not working the best lately. I got that quote from my local new holland dealer. I don't know any independent tractor repair companies. It was for a flywheel resurfacing, a dual stage clutch kit, new fluid and filter along with $1400 in labor.

    ford/new holland 1715 clutch issue

    Hi everyone, hopefully someone can help me. My tractor shifted gears and drove good. I bought it used and had it for a year with no issues. Since I bought it used I thought it would be a good idea to change the fluids. I decided to change the hyd/trans fluid first and when I did it was milky...
