That is indeed well lubricated!!!!

A mess of leaking oil and years of organic material. Our was full of corn shucks and grime was packed in like a bird nest. All the oil and worn down springs and clutch plate = slipping.

At least yours was one unit. Some or our trouble was because the hand clutch was not bolted to the brake unit and loose (all 6 bolts were sheered off). Thus, was the source of noise and failure to disengage and re-engage.

The surprising thing is that the clutch wasn't slipping and seemed to function correctly in all respects. Granted, we never worked it very hard either; this is the tractor that I purchased earlier this year for cheap and have been tinkering on ever since.

The main clutch is worn out so we have it split and both final drives are off; an unrelated semi-emergency developed with my Son-in-law's truck that requires shop space so the CA is now shoved to the side for the duration.
