Out today mowing with my L175/Woods l59 and the clutch started acting up. Occasionally, but not always, not releasing. It worked fine yesterday.

No undue sounds when stepping on the pedal. Normal effort on the pedal.

It did it if the PTO was engaged or not.

Stepping on the brake (pretty hard) was enough to get the clutch unstuck to do what shifting I needed to do, but it still does it.

Ideas?

Thanks for the help,

Robert

The clutch needed adjustment. It has been a few decades since I had to adjust mechanical clutch linkage.

Ten minute job, with at least half of that finding a screwdriver.
