My nephew went to move his one tractor he had parked a couple of months in the dry and the clutch is locked up.We did the usual thing to try to free it up.Low gear with the brakes on up against a tree still can't get freed up.Checked the linkage everything is moving inside and out what else can he do to free it up? TIA

I always have better luck with it rolling,usually have to start it running by rolling downhill,after it starts and with the clutch held down hit the brake pedal
hard,after one or two tries it should break loose.

Try stressing the drive train in high gear. That will put more shock on the clutch than low.
Sometimes leaving the clutch pedal blocked down for a day or 2 will free one. It shouldn't be stuck too bad in that short a time.

Put a load behind it(plow, disk) and get some work done. It'll pop loose eventually.
#1 block the pedal down when not being used.
#2 you need to drive it in the highest gear you can do safely. Low gear does nt put as much stress on the clutch.
#3 Pull the starter and while having the clutch blocked down spray brake cleaner spray on the clutch area and turn the engine over so as to get to it all.
By the way it helps us help you if we know what tractor it is because on some there are thing you can do that you cannot do on others

2x higher gear. Get in the open and get it going in a higher gear. Throttle 3/4 open, then raise and lower throttle quickly to get sort of a bucking bronco going. Clutch held down or blocked down of course. Not dragging the brakes either, you want the slack in the drive train to shock the clutch plate.

Block the pedal down and forget it a while.
Temperature change will unstick it for you.

You've never started anything in gear before? I have lots of times. Just be careful it's not exactly safe. Make sure where it's aimed and everyone out of the way. As far as hitching up, use another to push it in place.
