Illinois | John Deere 2955 MFWD has been a good tractor. End of last fall the clutch pedal would not come back to normal position after pressing it down. It would come about halfway up and at times when pressing it down again, it felt like bleeding brakes as there was minimal resistance in the travel. I have even had the pedal come back halfway up and tractor still moving forward, I watched the pedal suck itself back down to the floor. The tractor was still moving forward the whole time.
Sometimes the pedal will work fine and then other times the pedal refuses to come back off the floor or only go halfway up. I have not been able to replicate it consistently. The clutch pedal has a hydraulic reservoir and the fluid is full, so its not leaking somewhere externally. The manual talks about bleeding that line/system and I did that, but the problem still shows up.
Anyone else ever experienced this?
Is my clutch going out?
Could it be the master or slave cylinder?
Anyway to diagnose whether it is the master or the slave without throwing new parts on to test?
I am leaning towards replacing the master cylinder but its free to check on here before spending money on something that might not fix the problem
Any assistance is appreciated. | |
