I have heard of all sorts of tricks to free a stuck Ford clutch which if they'd put a an Allis Chalmers clutch pedal lock lever on the tractor in the first place this would never happen! Try this. On the right side of the clutch/flywheel housing you should find a timing port covered with a metal or plastic cover secured with a screw that can be loosened and rotated to open the port/hole. This will give enough access to the clutch to squirt Brake Kleen onto the clutch. Works best with engine running, in neutral, with the clutch pedal held all the way down by your able assistant or a big C clamp or concrete block or stick of wood, whatever will keep the clutch pedal all the way down while you're doing this. It will drain out the drain hole in the bottom so best to have a drain pan placed under the drain hole. That's the hole that should have a cotter key dangling from it. Don't be afraid to use a whole can or two of Brake Kleen. Let us know how it works out as there are several more tricks, each increasingly more dangerous. Such as running into a tree. Just kidding. (;>)) When you do get it freed up, use some device to completely disengage clutch after shut down, Especially if it's not going to be run for some time.
