Anyone else had this issue? Loaders works, 3 point works, PTO works but I was doing next to nothing with it and it just stopped rolling. Doesn’t matter what gear the trans or the t case is in….just nothing. Can push it like it’s in neutral no matter in forward, reverse or neutral. Can shift shuttle without pressing the clutch and no grinding, still won’t move. I have a whopping 247 hours on it. Did my clutch just let go?

Thanks,

Dean

Did it stop all at once or have you noticed it slowing in higher gears?

Also, did you stop then it would not go again or were you in gear moving and it suddenly stopped?

Seem to have been normal/normal up until it stopped. I had been bush hogging and finished up so I could help move some bags of sand. Put 6 or 7 in the bucket, drove around the house and dumped it. Put it in reverse and the clutch released as normal then it just kind of glided to a stop. No noises, no drama.

Do you have free-play at the top of the clutch pedal?

Clutches normally don’t fail like that. It normally will start slipping in higher gears first. Sometimes an adjustment will help then but usually it is too late by then.

Did you try it with FWD engaged?

Got some free play at the top, tried it in every configuration there is. I’m befuddled.

Can you feel any resistance on the Shuttle lever? Or is it moving freely like it isn't connected to anything? I would check the linkages first.

Another vote for checking the linkages. My M4700 has "bound up" twice in the linkages during it's 10 years of very light usage.

The shuttle shift feels the same. Has the same notches for F/N/R as always.
