"All linkages are good."

Does that mean the clutch adj. is correct? It's hard to tell how a mechanism will react that is not working properly. I wouldn't think you could split a tractor without messing with the clutch.

I mean clutch freeplay fine. You don't have to take pressure plate or clutch disk off to remove b-housing so Ileft it alone the clutchwas plenty strong before so I'm assuming it has to be a fluid prob. when tractor wants to stop which is mainly in 2&3 range pto still engages fine and loader will still lift anything.if main clutch was slipping that bad would loader&ptostillwork norm?

Well I finally got it figured it out. The T shaped bar I mentioned earlier was the prob. it had a snap ring on the back of it that had popped off. thats why it seemed to stay out all the time. that shaft keeps pressure on a bearing valve until you press in the clutch. this valve does have something to do with fluid pressure.All is good again! I had to split it again to fix it, but live& learn right.I want to thank every one for their help & advice this is a great resource!!
