My Farmall 300 was working when parked. Now when I depress the clutch and try to put it in gear, it grinds.

I cannot get it to go into gear with the engine running. Shifts just fine when it is shut off.

What is wrong? Can I fix this?

Michael: How long since tractor was last running? It could be clutch disc stuck either to shaft, flywheel or presure plate. This question has been asked before and yes with transmission driven pto that would cover the possiblities. However on tractors with Independant PTO such as a 300 the transmission shaft runs inside the tubular pto shaft in the torque tube. Those two could be stuck together. That may be a bit thougher to break loose. If you have a vehicle heavy enough to tow 300 with clutch depressed in 4th gear, and engine not running. If items are stuck bad enough towing in 4th will turn the engine before breaking something. What Jailkeeper said will work, but you almost have to use 1st gear and can be quite hard on not the best brakes in the world to begin with. The other plus on towing without tractor running is you can listen for noises you may not hear with tractor running.

Sounds like the clutch disc is stuck on the input shaft. Try driving the tractor in low gear, pushing the clutch pedal down and engaging the brakes repeatedly. You have to stomp on the brakes until it nearly kills the engine, let off, and do it again. Keep trying it and hopefully it will "jar" the clutch disc loose. May also help to squirt some penetrating oil up through the bottom on the input shaft.
