2810 stuck clutch

2810 been sitting outside for two years. Clutch is stuck, any suggestions on braking it loose short of splitting tractor?
 
block clutch and let it set a few days.

next, beep clutch blocked, stand on brakes and just keep bumping starter over . if it's a model you can put in a high gear and bypass safety ( safely , while setting in seat, etc. ).. do that. just a few bumps sometimes does it.
 
Common problem on anything that sits a long time. If you can safely start it in gear and then drive it around holding the clutch pedal down it should free up. It may free up real fast or it may take a while to free up but it is likely to free up. Then when ever you park it block the pedal down so it cannot rust up again. Also if it has it make sure the cotter pin drain hole is clean and open to leak stuff out of the bell housing.

I just got done cleaning up the bell housing of a JD 1020 and boy was it bad. At least an inch or rust and other junk above that cotter pin so it did not drain and that caused other major problems
 
As said if you can get it started by rolling down a hill or some other method,hold the clutch down and keep hitting the brakes to pop it loose,I've done it half a dozen times and it's worked every time.
 
If it is stuck really bad, you may want to put a bungee strap on the clutch pedal to hold it down.
Your leg will get tired if it takes a long ride to free it up. I had to do this last year and that
is why I know about the bungee strap.
 
If it takes so long to pop that your leg gets tired holding the pedal down, you're likely better off to split the thing and get it done right. If you jab the brakes a couple of hundred times trying to pop the clutch loose, you have to take into consideration the wear and tear of all of those shock loads on the rest of the driveline.

In my experience, if a clutch is going to pop loose using the driving and braking method, if it doesn't free up after about 5-6 good brake hits, it likely won't come loose at all.
