FFA Project Problems with B Clutch

We are still working on the b and time is running short. We tried to pull start it last night and when it is in gear the clutch does not take it out of turning the motor over. You can take it out of gear and it rolls ok but when you put it in gear it turns the motor over. It seems like the clutch is hung up but the clutch pops in and out ok. Any help would be great. Thanks
 
My advice is to give up on trying to pull start the tractor. There should be absolutely no need!

Timing for your tractor is easy - like falling off a log. If you need a few basic pointers, write me - email is open.

You say time is getting short - I hate to hear something like that!!! Whatever you do - take the time to do it right, or you may pay dearly later.

I am a bit confused with your post -- but here's something that may help.

And yes - with the tractor in gear and the clutch snapped out - when you pull the tractor, the belt pulley WILL turn! With the clutch snapped out, you effectively have disconnected the pressure link between belt pulley and crankshaft, but if in gear, connection with the drive train is present.

With the tractor's transmission in neutral AND the clutch snapped out, you should be able to freely turn the belt pulley because now - there is NO connection to the drive train, and NO connection to the crankshaft. If this test passes, the clutch IS NOT locked up. (PatB)
 
Guessing here but sounds like the inside facing fell down and is now pinched so it wont release. Was the clutch adjusted with the clutch engaged? should have been engauged. Hope this helps.
 
If you are pull starting and the clutch will not release you are about to get someone hurt. As soon as it fires up you're off and can't shut down...don't even consider this....dismantle the clutch and get a parts diagram..you're locked up with damages or frozen disc....be safe not sorry...
