clutch issue on 3054

[nola]

I have a strange issue with the clutch on my 3054.The tractor has 185 hours on it and after using it for most of the the day it all of a sudden quit moving.It would barely creep along in low gear and did not even have the power to make it up onto my trailer.It would only move with the engine idling,not when I would hit the throttle Although this is my first tractor I have always had manual transmission cars and the tractor gave no indication that the clutch was going out.The clutch linkage is intact,is there anything else to look at on it?I also removed the inspection cover for the clutch and the one bolt that I could see did not have any gap between the head and what I guess is the throwout bearing.I did adjust the gap but how do I turn the flywheel to check the other bolts and if the other two are touching is this the source of my problem?Thanks

I had a 2554 Kioti, 80 hrs, same thing happened, turns out the clutch cross shaft through the bell housing was sticking. Through the excess window I was able to lubricate and continued to work the clutch pedal till it was freed up. I used PB blaster, did not have another issue after that. hope your fix is as easy.
