Splitting a Tractor in Half to Fix the Clutch - Kubota L1-18

This is a full hands-on repair, not a walkaround: the owner splits an L1-18 to diagnose a clutch that won't release, finds the friction disc rusted onto the backing plate from sitting unused, frees it without damage, greases the release mechanism and shaft, then reassembles and tests it. It also covers a seized gear lever and touches on a leaking hydraulic ram. Best for owners troubleshooting a stuck clutch or considering a tractor-split repair themselves.

Posted by the Marty T channel, an owner working through the repair on his own tractor rather than a dealer or professional shop.
