1959 MF 65 Clutch Issue

So, I have never had an adjustment on the clutch linkage that allowed for the engine PTO to release 1 inch from fully depressed.
So I tried one more time to adjust it. Tractor running with range in neutral and gear in neutral. I had used the clutch to bring
tractor out in the yard to adjust and it worked well. Upon removing the pin and linkage from the control control arm, there
suddenly was no disengage function and clutch pedal just sat loosely on floor board. Clutch was engaged, but would not release.
Removing the linkage and manually turning the clutch release shaft rearward (disengage) resulted in a hard stop after only about 20
degrees of rotation. I know this likely has to come apart, but was wondering if someone else has encountered this. Absolutely no
spring tension at all.
 
If you remove the bottom plate you might be able to see what the issue is. Maybe the fork rotated out of the bearing. I believe the fork is pinned to the shaft, maybe seared a pin.
 
OK, thanks. I removed the inspection plate and the throw out bearing side all looks good. When you move the throw out bearing forward, it does not reach the pressure plate fingers. Looks like the pressure plate is stuck and it appears to be at a slight angel. Seems odd, but that is what I see at this point.
