hey all, I have a 2004 ck 20 with 500hrs. I'm the 3rd owner and the machine was used for snow clearing with the FEL. I installed a rear mounted snow blower and love it. I was having a starting issue and resolved it with a starter rebuild and a new battery cable to the starter. I don't think the PTO was used much, and when snow blowing, heavy, wet deep snow it was working pretty hard and I was snow blowing for several hours. Any way I think it took a toll on my clutch. In the process of trouble shooting the starting issue I found that the starter was dragging while cranking and when running the RPM drops slightly when the clutch is engaged and it also squeaks a little, like a dry bearing. When shutting down there is also a squeak. I believe I'm on the cusp of a clutch change. ugg. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
