As Janicholson said, it's the pilot bearing or the splines on the shaft not allowing the disc to slide freely away from the flywheel. Since the tractor sat for a long time, there is likely some crud or rust in the splines and/or the pilot bearing (bushing) is dry or corroded. If the clutch is not slipping, you probably don't need a new clutch disk. However since you are going to have to split the tractor to fix this, you may want to do the clutch replacement anyway. What you describe is common and maybe you need to just live with it if it is not too bad. If you split to fix, make sure the pilot bushing has some grease on it when you reassemble and that the clutch disk slides easily and smoothly on the shaft splines. A little lube or antiseize on the splines is a good idea too. Since there is not much resistance in the Cub transmission when in neutral, the clutch has to be nearly perfect for things to stop when you disengage the clutch. Even then, you may have to wait a bit for thinks to quit turning before you try to engage the gears. If you start the engine with the clutch disengaged but the transmission in gear, you can minimize the problem because the gears will not be turning if the tractor is not moving.
