how do you unstick a clutch?

My neighbor has an International 2424 w/loader.
After all these years, he went and took a power washer to her. Cleaned it up real purrty and then backed it in the shed, that was three days ago. Now the clutch won't release. He's got the clutch pedal wedged down with a pc of wood. He can start the tractor and at low idle slip it gently into gear, forward or reverse. But the clutch won't let go. He slowly drove it into a stout tree in low gear and low rpm, the rear tires just dug into the lawn. He got it away from the tree and I pulled him w/my 4 x 4 down the blacktop road. He left the engine shut off, and tried both 4th gear and then we tried second gear. W/the tractor in second gear I was able to drag it but the rear wheels wouldn't turn. w/the bottom access plate off he can see that depressing the pedal does move (lack of knowledge enters here)"a part of the clutch". He says the pedal has the same feel to it as when it was working properly. Any ideas what to try next? Sorry for the long post.
