    Take inspection cover off and see that the bolts at the ends of the fingers are sitting properly on the release bearing and are not worn away.

    If everything looks OK, then you can try adjusting the nut under the cab attached to the pedal.
    Think it's a 19 spanner and clockwise if clutch is not releasing fully with foot full on pedal and anticlockwise if it's slipping with foot off pedal.

    Clockwise if I remember correctly....... but if not just go the other way. Just make sure you can change gear smoothly but also that tractor stalls if you try to drive off with your foot on the brake.
