Best Answer

On a JOHN DEERe Model A (with the tractor not running), start by removing the dust cover from the clutch with a flat head screwdriver. You should see three nuts holding the clutch mechanism together. Tighten these three nuts equally and check how well the clutch works often after you have tightened a little ways. There should be a distinctive "pop" when you snap the clutch in or out. After you are content with the how the clutch works replace the dust cover. This adjustment should help prevent clutch slippage in most cases but for more information on adjustment and possibly rebuilding, I recommend you buy a repair/service manual along with an operator's manual.

Remove the deck from the tractor, then remove both blades. They can be sharpened using a grinder. If you don't have a grinder, then there are shops out there that can sharpen them for you (try asking at a shop that sharpens chainsaw chains).
