I'll be splitting it. I want to check out the clutch anyway and have a look at the PTO clutches. Something isn't right with that either (PTO). 

I sent you a PM with my email address. 

I did go out a play around with it some more with the rear jacked up. No matter what I do, only the ground off gear will spin and it is &quot;free&quot;. I can stop it with my hand. Selecting anything and turning either rear wheel doesn't lock things up like I figured it should. I would think I'd be trying to turn the engine over when I had it in a &quot;gear&quot;. 

What else could someone have done in there? The humanity... 

Well, I do like a good project. At least It runs better than my 3 cylinder 88 that I have twice as much in.
