I did put the old clutch back in, I just removed the bearing from the one I got off of ebay. I guess I need to clarify the "no brake" a little more. When I apply the brake hard enough it slows the tractor down, but it will not come to a complete stop, like there is too much force/power to override the brake.
You are right about the adjustment rod, when I was removing the clutch to replace the bearing it turned once, I don't know if that was anything major or not.
Yes, I can start in neutral and put it in gear. 1st gear and reverse are smooth, going into 2nd or 3rd from neutral or from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd there is some grinding.
I honestly haven't paid attention to see if the shaft stops turning when I press the pedal. I'm assuming since it wants to keep going even with the brake on that it isn't, but you know what you get when you assume.
Yes, I did double check about putting it back together, orientation of the bearing, the front bearing retainer is all I had off. On the collar assembly the grease plug is pointing away from the clutch release lever. Is the collar assembly supposed to move back and forth on it's own? Is it possible to have too much grease if it is supposed to move back and forth, or is it supposed to just stay in one position?
Thanks for the help.
