Hello. I have a question about clutch behavior that Id like some guidence on, before splitting the tractor in half for a clutch replacement job.
Tractor - Case IH 595 w / Loader.
Symptoms:
Cold engine - Runs good, Clutch engages with Power, no issues.
Warm engine - In any gear, when I let off the clutch peddle, the tractor struggles to get going. However, it will eventually get going. On a slight incline, when I let off the clutch, the tractor will actually sit there for seconds (like 10-15 seconds), then actually engage and start going up hill. Engine Power is good. PTO and Loader power is good.
If it sits and the engine cools down, it behaves fine.
My question is Since the clutch does engage fine when cold, and eventually engages when hot Im wondering if this is actually a clutch issue or some thing else.
Thoughts?
