NH 1920 stuck clutch

[billfires]

My 22 year old NH 1920 with 670 hours has been stuck since 2015. The tractor was stored outdoors for the majority of it's life. I have been using it in low range for the past 7 years. Finally towed it to an independent shop where they split the tractor and here is what they found: Estimate is $1200-1400 for a replacement. Bill C

That’s a great repair price

I'm assuming that the price includes a new clutch plate and pressure plate, but the disc looks fine.
The pressure plate is rusty, but could be cleaned and the links lubed

If you seldom use the tractor get a block of wood and make it so the clutch peddle is pressed down as the tractor sets. Some tractors have a clip that you can hook to the clutch peddle for that purpose. This will help to keep the pressure plate free of the flywheel.

Just an update, total price came to $2869 which included a full service (hydraulic fluid + filter, Oil and filter, repair leaking fuel return line and new filter, lubricate all linkages. Labor was $1250 (16.66 hours @ $75.00/hour). The shaft for the clutch was replaced also. Tractor is now stored in a barn with concrete floor and I will block it with the factory wooden block. Bill C
