Could it be possible that a major clutch could still be in it, the man I bought it from reckons its a single clutch but he's not sure

Does the PTO still drive with your foot on the clutch? The County is IPTO  and I hadn't considered that.

I see I had replied much earlier in this thread and forgotten about it.

 

Anyway my experience of tractors parked up to a long while is that the clutch sticks to the flywheel and won't release so if there's grinding I'd suspect the gearbox.

Story is that he had a drum mower on and he was mowing hay, it started making a knocking sound from the clutch area and then the clutch went, it wasn't started in 2 years but fired up instantly when a battery was connected the other day

If you're lucky the centre will have ripped out of the driven plate.

Sounds like release bearing shat itself.

Are those hard to repair?

We used to have a 1976 Ford Cargo horse box with a six cylinder 6 liter engine. Would this be the same one ?

Not sure

 

Thanks for your input fellas, appreciate the help

No just put a new driven plate in

 

you should be able to take the top cover off the gearbox and see if the first motion shaft is turning
