Toby (Sasquatch on here) has a video on disassembly and tune up of the pony pinion clutch and brake.
Like Hector said, I have found that draining the old oil and refilling with any brand of ATF will make braking the pinion and engaging the gear without grinding a LOT easier! The thinner fluid causes less drag between the disks of the disengaged clutch and it's just not as slick as a motor oil, which helps the brake work better. Finally, you probably won't need to run the clutch adjusted as tight. I find that any discernable "snap" when your engaging the clutch is tight enough and it will turn the main engine just fine.
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."
