Howard gem clutch problems

[vhgmcbuddy]

Hello there. After many years of excellent service and careful maintenance, my jap Gem IV rotavator has failed me. The clutch handle has ceased to operate the clutch. Externally, all the linkages are intact and the clutch crank on the side of the gearbox works rotates the shaft that goes into the side of the gearbox, but it rotates without engaging or disengaging the cluch mechanism. Anyone had a similar problem? I have a few thoughts as to what might be up, but wanted to see if there was a regular issue with the clutch that I should be aware of / tricks to fix, before I dive and rip things apart. Thanks in anticipation, rob
