Hello folks.
I rebuild my dad's 9N engine last winter and it's been running fine most of the summer. However, the longer it runs, the less the clutch pedal works to disengage the motor. Now, I depress the pedal (warm or cold) and there's no clutch at all - just grinding when forced into gear. It's basically unusable now. Recently, when running warm, I'd depress the clutch and the tractor would continue driving for 1-2 more seconds before coasting. There is a hyrdo leak at the cotter-pin drain at the bottom of the housing, if that sheds any light. Pretty sure it's not engine oil. I've also tried to remove any extra slack in the clevis and it made no differnce.
I'm about to split it apart (again, sigh) and was hoping somebody could recognize what I've done wrong so I can be better prepared to fix it right.
Thanks!
