Oh 574 issue

[fball1208]

So my 574 started struggling going uphill. There is no loss of engine power but the tractor will slow to a stop when going uphill. What should I look at? Clutch?

Sounds like clutch or TA maybe if it has that on it.

For one if it has a hi/lo shift on the go which used to be
called a TA. Did that work in low before? If so that
means the main machine clutch is slipping. Does it
have free play on the pedal, at least a half inch? If not
you need to adjust it so you have some. Free play is
easy pedal movement at the top of the pedal motion
before the clutch starts to push hard against the
pressure plate springs. Give it at inch or so if you need
to adjust some in. As the clutch wears the previously
set free play becomes less and less. At some point
when all free play is gone the clutch pressure plate
starts to be held in a partially released position and will
slip. The clutch can also become worn so bad that it
simply will not hold.

Dang looks like it s time to split it. The clutch is out of adjustment. Any recommendations on where to get one?
