I recently split my new-to-me l1500dt and replaced the clutch plate, pressure plate, and throw out bearing. It has been performing flawlessly for the past three weeks.
Today when I started the tractor, I was unable to put it into gear because of grinding. After inspecting the clutch pedal linkages and springs (checked out ok), I took off the clutch inspection plate, and sure enough it would not disengage when I pressed the clutch pedal.
I have read in another thread I should try to start it in gear and get it up to 7-8 mph before stomping the brakes and pedal. Would anybody advise against this?
I should mention before the problem arose, I did spin the tires a little bit inadvertently on some gravel. I don't know if this would have anything to do with it.
Do you guys have any suggestions before splitting this thing again to check out why its not disengaging? Thanks for your time fellas!
