You should drop to your knees and be thankful that the problem is that your slip clutch started slipping. The big problem is when they freeze up and you twist out shafts, yokes and u-joints. I have a Woods MD-172 and have taken the slip clutch apart and cleaned it to make sure it was all free after setting over the winter. It sounds like you have one metal disk that has siezed to the shaft and may need to be soaked with penetrant to break it loose. The best thing would be to go to your local(nearest) Woods dealer and have the parts guy show you the schematic for the assembly. I have found the Woods parts were no more pricey than trying to match the parts such as seals with what looks the same at the local NAPA store. On the Woods I have you need to make sure the plate held by the springs are not seized to the bolts when it has been unused for long periods. I make a practice of backing off the springs, checking that the plate can move and then make a few rounds in the field before retigtening the springs. I wish you well with the repair, yes they are rebuildable.
