It is unstuck now so relax. I stuck it by jumping off my 6 volt 200 with a "HOT" 12 volt high amp battery in my pickup. I thought I had it hooked up correctly but I must have had the leads reversed. Usually the sparks will tell if it has been hooked up backwards but there were not any sparks. The 200 cranked right up so I was happy but when I went to undo the jumper leads the wires and grips were almost melting hot. The tractor sputtered a few times then caught up and ran fine. I knew something was not just right but moved the truck and attempted to back the tractor out of the shed. No go, it would not go in gear but just ground the teeth. Clutch was stuck to the flywheel. It was late in the day so I just shut it down. I had not removed the front planters from spring garden planting and needed to get them off. When I got back to it a couple of weeks later I started with the hopper mounts without moving the tractor and worked my way down to the drive control linkages and the mounted drill units. These required operating the touch control so using the crank I started up the motor. It took about a half an hour to remove the drive control linkages and I really wanted to removed the drill units elsewhere. On a fluke I made an attempt to put the tractor in gear and with a little grinding it went right into 3rd. Clutch was unstuck. I guess getting it warmed up loosened it up enough to break free trying to put it in 3rd.
There is gray hair here and I should know better but I am beginning to not trust myself. I was sure I had those leads hooked up correctly but that could not have been. I do not know how many times over the years I have jumped a 6 volt with a 12 volt battery but it has been a lot. Never have I had this happen before. Not sure if I did any other damage but it looks like the system was somewhat forgiving and the truck and tractor still run fine. I think I skated this time. Dad would have chewed me out good and walked around a while with his hands on his hips and looked angry. The angry part I did not miss but I would have deserved the good chewing out.
