Whoops! Just reread the post. Guess you already tried this. Good luck!


This is a common problem on tractors that are left sitting over winter especially in high humidity areas. The clutch disc may be rusted to the flywheel. You may be able to break it loose by putting the trany in top gear and with the clutch pushed in bump the starter several times. Keep our foot on the brakes and block the tires. You might also pull the coil wire too.
