John deere 50 clutch noise

[JD60Standard]

I had my 50 at a show yesterday and noticed that when I push the clutch forward to engage it make grinding/ clunking noise, it stops making the noise once the clutch is snapped in. It seems to be the worst when the tractor is in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or reverse, I should also mention that the clutch feels extremely grabby. It did not make this noise when I bought it less than than a month ago. Any insight when be appreciated

Could be a fiber disk is binding up or brake.

Pop the cover off and take a look around I’ve broken a “head” off the three bolts on various tractors in that clutch then it will jump a little you might have to take a look around. If you put a load on it does it slip?

Broken loose fiber disk B2354R? Or one fiber disk came off the double disk, AB4828R?

It doesn’t seem to slip but the clutch doesn’t have a good snap when engaging, I tried adjusting it but it became so grabby that it was nearly undriveable and the noise got louder too.

Im planing to tear into the clutch this weekend and see what I can find
