I have a John Deere 970 with a sticky clutch. If I leave it for even a week in humid weather, the clutch sticks. The dealer says I need to clamp the clutch pedal down whenever I park the tractor. Is there really no other solution to this problem?

| Is it the disks & presure plate/flywheel sticking together or a linkage problem?
Seen a 2120 with a sticky clutch because the linkage/spline grease fittings were never lubed. They are under a pop off cover inside the bell housing on those tractors.

| I have a 970 MFWD at work and have had no problems, but I have a 1050 at home and the second stage of the clutch stays stuck (does not disengage the PTO). I also have other 50 series at work and all have had problems with at least the second stage of the clutch. Do you ever have trouble engaging your PTO?

| No, I haven't had any problems with the PTO clutch.

| Have you figured out what circumstances cause the problem or do you keep your clutch clamped every time you park the tractor?

| I have a 970 that I bought new and I have never had a clutch problem. What do you mean by a "sticky" clutch? Does it only do it when you first start it up after sitting for a while?

| What happens is the tractor will start up all right but I can't get it into gear. As I understand it the clutch plates basically rust together. As for sitting a while, I guess it depends what you mean by sitting for a while. The first time it happened the tractor had been sitting for a month or so. The last two times it's only been a week. It seems to be more of a problem when the humidity is high.

| I have a manual shift Deere 970 with 670 clock hours about half of the hours using the front bucket so a lot of clutch work. I am getting a lot of slippage. How do I adjust the clutch or is there another problem? There is a short clutch linkage with about 1/8" of thread in front of the jam nut and 1 inch behind. There is a long linkage going to the differencial--it does not move when the clutch pedal is depressed.
Help would be appreciated--daily manure removal!
