Tw35 clutch woes

So since the weathers turned good and every tractor we have is busy I’ve had my tw out rolling. When the tractors just started and warming up the clutch seems normal no lag or hesitation but after a hour or so at work if I back of the throttle to slow down abit it feels like the clutch is biting and when I stop then go to pull away the clutch is very hesitant to realise Then it seems to just bite or won’t at all and just sits there not doing anything. Is this clutch issues?

Also when the tractors leaning over on hills to the right it sounds like the gear box is winning and making some pretty unusual noises but when leaning to the left it’s fine no noises at all. I’ve noticed it’s lost some oil so will top that up this morning.

May not be clutch have you tried when it hesitates to pull away changing dual power, if ok then d/p is getting worn, if its loosing oil from split pin hole in bell-housing then dual power and transmission shaft seals are leaking and depending how bad can get on clutch, as for whining might be c/p and not box these old tractors are pretty bullet proof all round.

It cant be the clutch as if ther was oil on it or it was on its way out once you put her unnder load it would slip not just once shes warm so has to be duel power clutch plates or droppin pressure once oil is warm but itl need attention now before you do more damage

Thank you for the replies. I was told when buying the tractor the dual power was just rebuilt. But obviously that wasn’t the case so I’ll speak to my mechanic and get him to have a look and change it.
