I was kindly gifted a Belarus 250as that has been sitting for 15 years. So after spending a day rebuilding the starter that would not kick out and engage the flywheel, messing with wiring from messed up plug connectors that were dry rotted, finally got it cranked and no matter what you do with the clutch it will not shift into gear. It just grinds. I adjusted the clutch pedal until there was almost no slop in the pedal itself. It springs all the way back up but when you push it down it does nothing. I actually cranked the tractor in gear and pushed the clutch in and nothing happened it just kept driving. If you crank it and then try to put it in a gear it just grinds. You can only put one of the two levers in gear. If you put it in forward, you won't be able to select a gear, if you select a gear you won't be able to put it in forward or reverse. He said it drove and parked where he left it no problem and the reason he parked it was the hydraulic pump was bad. Well, before I mess with the hydraulic pump I want to be able to stop and go. Also the alternator was seized up upon cranking and burnt the belt up Rather quickly. So I have to either rebuild the alternator or try to find a replacement because I'm currently running with no fan belt. I'm not running it but for a couple minutes at a time while I'm messing with the clutch. What should I try? Thanks!
