S373 clutch release

[lmaulorico]

My S373 clutch pedal doesn't release unless manually pulled back. Clutch engages and disengages without grinding. Is release bearing bad? Or is there some lube point I'm not seeing. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

This comes up now and then, even on my own 1450 (grey 373). The transmission input shaft is a little rusty and the clutch disc is not sliding as needed. This usually requires a split. When you split the tractor make sure you check the pilot bearing and release bearing and the clutch to see if anything needs to be replaced. Welcome to TBN!!

I was kind of afraid of that, thanks for the advice.
