Hi all,
I have a stuck clutch on a 1947 8N. I've tried towing a load around, no luck. I sprayed several cans of carb cleaner behind the flywheel, while turning & pounding on the flywheel, and letting it sit for a few days with the clutch peddle blocked down, no luck.
I'm 74, and I am not excited about splitting the tractor (I've done it before). My mind says "go for it", my body says "h*ll NO".
What would you do? Would you keep spraying carb cleaner on it while turning the flywheel? Or would you hook up the 5' box blade and tear up a mile long roadway with the tractor in neutral? Or would you spend the bucks, split the tractor, and install a new clutch kit?
What say you all? Opinions greatly appreciated by this old Gunny!
Thanks.
