I have a 1976 Ford 535 industrial tractor. It has been sitting awhile but started right up. One problem though........I have
had the clutch stick to the flywheel many times, but this time, the clutch release rod will not move. I feel that the throw
out bearing is stuck. I can't get it to move. It is greased by a grease cup on the right side of the clutch housing. Any
suggestions on how to free it without splitting the tractor? Can you gain access to it if you remove the plate that bolts the
steering wheel to the top of the clutch housing? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
You mean shaft that goes all the way thru trans case? About all that can be done is good penetrating lube,spray on both ends and bump back and forth till frees up then keep lubed up.

The shaft that goes into the clutch housing won't pivot, thus the clutch pedal won't move. I assume that the throw out bearing is stuck on the shaft that goes to the trans. Is there any access to lube this other than splitting the tractor? Thanks.
 

Almost as much work, but you can pull the steering box off the top and see inside the bell housing...
