clutch

I have a 1958 cub, while plowing snow my clutch would't go in so I could't shift it. It grinds gear when I try to shift. New clutch last year. Any idea whats wrong?

Sounds like clutch not working, try looking through the inspection hole in the torque tube and see if the clutch fingers or bearing may be damaged
good luck Tim

Hard to tell from information so far, but my first guess would be either the pedal adjustment has slipped, or the throwout bearing has failed. If you bought an aftermarket throwout when you did the clutch and did not soak it in oil before installing it has probably worn off. The IH bearings come pre-lubricated, but the aftermarket ones do not. Another cause is clutch fingers not being adjusted evenly or correctly, which will lead to premature bearing failure

According to your zip code, you're not far away. I could stop by and take a look, if you'd like.

Thanks Tim and all that answered my question. It was a broken clutch finger. Repaired it through the inspection hole.

Glad you made out, make sure the fingers are all the same height also
