Try a clutch adjustment first and see what happens from there. Have you checked the oil levels right through your dumper? Check both diffs and gearbox, maybe even worth while to change the oil and put fresh oil in.

Hi Des
It sounds a bit like clutch problems, grinding into first and problems with movement. And as cobbadog says check oil levels.

Sounds like you made a good decision to inspect it closer and replace the bearing and then used the correct oil, well done.
