Clutch wont fully disengage

[jd1520]

I was doing some work on Saturday and then the clutch doesnt want to fully disengage so I have to go to idle and bang it in there to shift ...not good long term solution

I adjusted linkage so I have maximum throw but it still not disengageing fully??

did I break something or is it just wore out?

I figured it would slip in gear if it wore out not this not disengaging stuff

Is there something I can check or try before I tear it apart?

Strong chance a dampener spring is loose in the pressure plate and holding things up...I'm talking about one of the springs in the center of the clutch disc...

so splitting tractor my only option to repair ?

That's the way it sounds,, but they are easy to split..

Bad pilot bearing that the input shaft from the trans fits into...yeah, you gotta split it...

You could have a broken operating bolt on on of the clutch fingers. Pop the cover off the clutch hosing and look at them. No matter what you are going to split the tractor.

I had a simuliar problem on a 2520. The clutch looked like a wavy potato chip all the way around. Just wore out. Paul
