Unexpected project

Making a new thread about this so it doesn’t clutter everything up.
I picked up a L275 that “ran when parked” probably a decade ago. Hopefully there are no major issues with the engine but it may need clutch work. This model has a dual clutch, right now the clutch only has resistance at the PTO stage. It does not return at all on the driven clutch.
Is this an indication of the clutch stuck or an issue with the flexplate?

I plan on working to get it running next week.

Damn! That seat has really faded!

Awesome tractor and looking forward to following along.

That doesn’t look too bad at all!

The tank may be rusted on the inside so you may not be getting fuel out of the tank! If it was me I would get a tank they use for working on motorcycles to adjust carburetors when the tank is removed. Search Amazon for “auxiliary fuel tank motorcycle” to see them. Or possibly a boat fuel tank. Just gravity feed through an inline filter to the injector pump. That way you know you are getting good, fresh, clean fluid. (Don’t ever use starting fluid on these engines.)

Good luck and there are several threads on here of people getting old tractors running fairly easily after they had been sitting for some time.

If you put it in gear does it roll?
Now does it roll when you push in the clutch pedal?

It will hold itself in gear. Currently stuck in high range due to the fender being bent against the lever.
I”ll have to see if it will roll while I push the clutch in when I have a second person.
