Hi! My 1961 TD9 LH Steering Clutch is Stuck 
I adjusted the lever and think it's engaging properly. It's gotten stuck before; I unstuck by going back and forth working the brake and clutch. Not this time. I sprayed penetrant on the clutch through the rear opening. I used tie-downs on Both clutch levers and drove around, put a load on. But I can't break it loose. I am not an expert and not about to pull the clutch (sorry!). I think the next thing to try is pour some liquid in. So, this leads me to my 3 specific questions.
1. What else should I try?
2. What liquid to use? I think Diesel is the "standard", but I've read a lot of different things like: kerosene, (parts) solvent, penetrant (wd40/acetone & ATF), water & soap, mineral spirits, evapo-rust.
3. How much liquid to add? I know to get it up over the clutch drum, but cannot see down there. I'd be pouring blind. I am guessing 1-3 gallons.
Thanks for reading my post! I will post my results here when something happens.
