That would be a 1928 year.
I have had the nut that holds the clutch on the trani shaft loose it cotter pin and jamb itself against the flywheel and make the clutch act like it is stuck before. Other possibilities are the clutch plates are stuck together, it is a multi plate clutch, the pilot bearing could be bad, etc. It is not to bad to get into, a copy of the owners manual is a great help on any repairs on a 2Ton.
Thanks

Thanks Ken, So I pulled the top cover off and on of and I have the same issue. The cotter pin sheared off and the nut backed off. The bolt is stripped and the nut will not thread back on. Do I have to pull the engine to get the clutch off to replace the bolt?
Do you know where I can get a copy of the manual?
In the Technical Library on this website there is a copy of the owners manual. It does a much better job a telling how to get to what you need than I can. Pages 58, 59, 60. Yes there is a way to do it with out removing the engine. If you do not have access to the library I can scan mine and post them but it would be a few days before I can do it.
Thanks
Ken
Ken, Thank you for the help! I was able to get the clutch out.

Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
