Well, I pulled it apart and the disk was in correctly, there was no obvious damage anywhere, but noticed some rust on the pressure plate where the clutch apparently was setting. I can hardly believe that it was rusted fast, just doesn't make sense. Stared at the thing about 30 minutes trying to figure out why this thing was stuck, and about all I could come up with was that when I assembled the tractor halves the first time, I had removed the 3 pressure plate bolts that draws the plate to the clutch housing, and, probably, the clutch disk gear was offset from the clutch gear. Possibly what happened was when I assembled it, I put a ton of pressure against the center shaft, and it never seated properly, but that doesn't make sense to me either, or I would think there would have been some obvious damage. I DID notice there is about 1/2-1" of front to back play in the center shaft if you grab it and move it. Not sure that is a problem, or a result of my first joining. Anyway, this time on joining the tractor halves, I left in the 3 pressure plate bolts, made sure the gears (female and male) were in fairly close relative alignment, and assembled very slowly, making sure I didn't force anything. Now, it works just fine. A real puzzle to me. Any ideas or concerns from you folks?

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
