Yep....that was the stuff. My PTO kept grinding going into gear. That is a two stage clutch pedal on the 790. The first stage is for drive gear and the next detent is for the PTO. I had forgotten that safety feature.
Well, talk about coincidence's, I just did my '97 JD 770 today. My clutch spring broke a few weeks ago and I thought I adjusted it then but It just wasn't right and had to do it again. Don't see many video's on our style tractors, good job.

Thanks for helping me with my clutch adjustment.
My pedal went reel loose. Now I have no clutch. If you cut it off. It will shift in all gears.
Did you ever find the culprit? Is tractor clutch still in?

Glad it helped! thanks for watching!
Love your videos on the 790 Tractor! Very clear & informative information. Thanks
NOTE: Just to clarify for those doing this - the adjustment nut and locknut are left handed threads. Thanks for the great video! I really like my 790.
I sure do appreciate this video. I've been wondering how to stop the "grinding" when changing gears on this fine little tractor! Thanks
No problem! Glad it helped
