I finally got around to tearing into my problem.
It was the clutch pivot bearings that were rusted up. I had to remove the covers and heated the shafts with a rosebud. That didn’t do it, so I poured EvapoRust on top of them 6 days in a row and every day they would move a little more until they freed up completely. That stuff works!
It sure beats having to take off the transmission cover to access them.
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.
