If it sticks that often it's time to split the tractor and fix the problem.
Propping the clutch pedal down when not using the tractor is an alternative but would be my last resort. The clutch disc can stick to the flywheel and I've seen it happen over night even on old chevy trucks. But what I've seen more of is the disc hub sticking to the transmission shaft. It rusts up in the splines and and keeps the disc pushed against the flywheel.
If the disc is stuck to the flywheel sand the flywheel really good and sand blast the disc on both sides after you remove it.
If the disc is rusted to the shaft splitting the tractor may be difficult depending on how bad the rust is because the shaft will not want to slide out of the disc hub thus holding the two halves of the tractor together. Again sand the flywheel and blast the disc. Then use a wire brush on the shaft's splines and the splines inside the disc's hub then then spray them clean with some brake clean then put a small coating of never sieze on the splines. Keep the never sieze to a very minimum amount because you don't want it thrown out on the disc from centrifugal force.
Be sure to check for any leaking seals, better yet replace any seals inside there plus your throw out bearing plus the pilot bearing if it has one. Any grease thrown from these seals or bearings can cause the disc to stick. Grease and oil can become very sticky once heated and burnt like in a clutch or brake system.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
