Brought tractor into work.  Removed flywheel and found the fork that moves the spindle was broken.  Quite a job getting the piece out.  Mechanic will clean and re-weld the part and should be good to go.  Needs some lubrication.  Thanks for the advice.

Thanks a lot.  I'm going to separate the auger and quit for the day.  It looks like I'll replace the belts while I'm at it.  Looks to me like it needs a good lube.  Thanks again.

Thanks for the response.  I set the adjusting nut and the wheel made contact.  Then it would not retract.  I tapped it back and it disengaged.  Is there a spring that pulls the disc back when you release the handle?  How much  travel should there be when you pull the lever?  It doesn't seem to move very much at all.  What should I lubricate the shaft with.  As I said, the machine is pretty old and was last serviced 3 years ago.

I just followed the procedure for the drive disc adjustment and the wheels still turn when I tighten the nut all the way.  What does the spring attach to?  It feels like the handle lever doesn't move anything.  I can move the drive disc in and out with a bar between the belts, but when I pull the lever, nothing moves.

I've tried adjusting the nut, but the wheels still turn.  Does the lever move the drive disc back to make contact with the friction wheel?  Could it be bound up?
