I have adjusted the pedal free play to 1 inch and ran the checks for pto clutch which was .30 go .40 nogo all three and did my best to check the main clutch adjustment which is approx 1/16 inch all round.

I am using the attached instructions from KENO tractors in Oregon which called for finger to throwout of 1/16 to 1/8″. Did not adjust any since they meet specs. Since I don’t own a 1/16″ feeler guage I used three blades .024 .025 .026 together which is close to 1/16″ (.075 where 1/16 is .0625) which is a tight fit while adding the next blade to the stack (for .102 near 3/32) is a nogo so I call that in spec.

OTOH not much changed. When the pedal goes down the throwout bearing goes forward, the levers operate and the plates move a bit apart but when pedal up nothing goes to the wheels. I can change the gears from neutral with the tractor on or off if i force it a bit but when running I hear and feel knashing of gears for a second if I shift into gear with the pedal up but it then goes into gear without the wheels moving. I don’t feel much difference with the pedal down all the way.

My thinking is that it is acting like a slush bucket, a slipping clutch that xmits a little rotation to the gear box and yet stops dead when put in gear on the output side. I can see the clutch input (flywheel0 rotating fine so I think that is the only thing physically possible if I have enough gear motion to knash gears. What have I missed here?

My other problem is being in Oklahoma where the tornadoes come roaring down the plan (two miles south of me last night) and I do not see any chinese tractor outlets around. Any idea where a Jinma shop might be near Shawnee Oklahoma? Know a price for replacing a clutch in a 200? Thank you for bearing with me on this, really.

Thanks for confirming that Piper, I will get that replaced right away. Probably why the original starter had a shorted solenoid.
