When that happens don't jam it in gear. Kill the motor and put it in granny and start it in gear. When my slave cylinder broke I was 250 miles from home, and when my bellhoising cracked I had to drice it over a month before I could take the time to fix it.

Plowing snow there is no way to not be using your clutch a lot, nowhere here you would be or even could be floating gears. On the road is the only place you could get away with it.

I know of some that were converted and use the old style linkage, and I may even try this on my highboy, but I think it will be hard to push and maybe even wear the linkage worse than the hydraulic setup.

Right now we have an 84 Dodge plow truck with the mechanical linkage.
With the snows we have been having, lots of problems with that linkage when you torque the engine.
That truck has a 360, so not even close to diesel torque.
The way parts are made these days, have a spare.
