Had tractor stored after running good past yr, started up as want to recondition/rebuild as it is now a rust bucket, but engine and everything worked great all needed was sandblating and repainting, now the cluth will not release and have tried jerking it with clutch pedal in etc, nothing works, how do I fix this problem. Or how do I remove the belly pump etc to remove clutch. Any advice or knowledge appreciated

I used to have a AC B that did this all the time. I would start the tractor in reverse and slowly back the tractor drawbar into a large tree and the clutch would break loose. I unstuck a H recently with a large pry bar thru the lower inspection plate, just yanked against the clutch plate.

Well if it starts easy and runs well this is how I do it. Block the pedel down a couple days, then start it in gear the higher the better. Make sure your out in the north 40 when you do this and have a lot of room to drive the heck out of it. Then just drive it around with the pedel down and it will pop loose but it may take 5 minutes or and hour to do so but it will pop free. Just be sure when you start it in gear you are on the tractor and no one else is around in the way because it will be hard to stop since the clutch doesn't let loose.

I've used a similar method for a stuck clutch on my M. I started the engine with the transmission in 5th gear. (Making sure that I had plenty of room ahead.) Once it started, I pushed in the clutch pedal and tapped the brakes repeatedly. After about 30 seconds the clutch popped loose.

I had one stuck after sitting and tried jerking it, no luck. I left it for a couple of weeks with the pedal blocked down. I left the shed to try to jerk it some more and the first hill I went down it popped loose.

Nah , you may be able to just remove the starter and loosen the bolts enough to back off the pressure plate and with a laysfoot bar pop it loose . if that does not wook then drop the belley pump and do the same thing but ya don't have to pull the thing out . I just hate when that happens.

This same issue was addressed awhile back, maybe on a different forum, but someone mentioned about towing the tractor forward a short distance, and then backwards, both directions with the clutch pedal depressed. You would most likely need someone to help you with this, as there needs to be an operator on the tractor. You would want the tractor to be in gear, and maybe hold the brake pedals down at the same time. This seems to be the safest method I have heard of.
