Northeast Missouri | Could be several things in play here. As has been mentioned, there could be some drag or possibly sticking of the clutch disks. They can do this after a tractor sets in a humid environment for some time, especially if the clutch cover is off. Also, the three clutch bolts can get sticky in their bores which causes lack of snap due to not being able to travel as far as necessary. The clutch should "ring" as it is snapped in if everything is ok. If the pulley wants to re-engage while pulling the clutch lever to the rear but doesn't stop the belt pulley, the pulley brake needs adjustment. With the clutch disengaged but no pressure on the lever, the pulley can creep. It should only stop with rearward effort on the clutch lever. If the belt pulley stops hard when the clutch is disengaged the pulley brake is too tight. Hope this helps. I've worked on these tractors for 60 years.
