What did YOU do to your tractor today?

9n is in better shape, but this is a few yrs ago. Its not running right now.

641 has stuck clutch, otherwise it actually runs.
Tried all the tricks to unstick it, no luck so far.

View attachment 517206641 has stuck clutch, otherwise it actually runs.

So what tricks have you tried?
Sometimes after exhausting all the tricks it's time for a split. At least yours doesn't have a loader and power steering in the way like this 641. The clutch on this was stuck so fast that I had to bang it off with a putty knife and hammer.. Guess it took me the better part of a day, cause I'm old and slow, to get it back running. Maybe do a split like yours in 3 hours or so. Sometimes easier to make the split and be done with it. If you can salvage the clutch always block down the clutch pedal when not in use cause they will stick again.

Dang, that's a whole lotta blue going on there Kirk.

Are you saying that these clutches ought to be blocked open if tractor's being put up for a period of time? Had an old Triumph motorcycle like that...

Yes Sir

Good to know.

Set out to get that weed patch knocked down and found the dang clutch on the mower was set too light. Had Wifey bring me a set of hex keys so I could make an adjustment and just as I finished there was thunder and the skies opened up.

Boy, a guy can sure get wet on a three mile putt back Home on a tractor - even in top gear, lol

Oh well, was fun while it lasted

Front shields showed up today, still waiting on the skid shoes, and that flat plate patch for the top of the mower.

Skid shoes and patch panel arrived late last week, having a heck of a time finding 5/16 - 18 plow bolts though and the new skid shoes didn't come with them.

Had one of those too-full days today, but wanted to get something done on the tractor so I installed the new exhaust pipes from YT:









Old pipes were paper-thin, and burned through in a few spots. The old clamps came apart easy so I was able to reuse them.

Everything went together well but wouldn't you know, once I started the tractor there was a leak at the front of the muffler that I didn't know about when I ordered the pipes. So, tomorrow I'll order a muffler - but I'd like to go with a donaldson like SouNdguy suggested if I can find a source for one.

Funny, pipes arrived painted which I didn't notice until I went to clean my greasy hand prints off with some laquer thinner on a rag, lol

So, what did YOU do to your tractor today?

Split the '39 to put in a pto support bearing. As my wife sez don't over tighten it, I snapped off the trans drain plug clean into the trans. Got lucky on this one and a couple of taps with a hammer and chisel and was able to unscrew it out.
