Last Saturday I was working on my 1/2 mi. driveway pushing a little road base around filling in the low spots, when my tractor just quit moving. I thought that was real funny. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. I tried backing up and nothing. I remembered about having to clutch pedal it first any time I start it or get off the seat so I tried that,...no go /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif.
I turned if off several times and fiddled with the shuttle shifter several times, pressing the clutch, and all that, and it finally moved /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif....about four feet /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. I had to walk over to my neighbor and I humbly /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif hooked up my chain so he could pull me to my house with his green tractor.
I tried adjusting a turn buckle on the cable that is pulled when depressing the clutch and the tractor started working again /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif. I made it about 100 yards down my drive before it just stopped /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. Never could get it to move again.
I used by neighbor's <font color="green"> green </font> tractor to push my <font color="blue"> blue </font> tractor on a trailer to haul over to the dealer.
Got to the dealer yesterday morning and the mechanic asked me if I could get the tractor off the trailer. I said yea if we push it off /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif. We set the ramps, mechanic jumps on the tractor, starts it up and DRIVES it off the trailer. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. Now didn't that make me look stupid? He drove it around the parking lot without any problems. He said he'd give it a close look.
Also told him to see what he could do about 1st gear being so hard to set and low range being difficult to set.
I hope it doesn't budge today when he hops on it.
