push start in your highest gear, and drag or plow something. High gear puts the most load on the clutch. This works every time. Remember to do this with the clutch pedal down, or blocked. Cut a block to hold the clutch down when not in use, to prevent this happening again. Have fun!!

I got the clutch loose by removing the starter and banging away with a crow bar! Thanks rob, rick and rbell for the advise. This is a neat site.

check the archives on this Board. I know there has been lots of discussion on this topic and lots of ideasa, some safe, others you have to be careful with. Block the clutch pedal after use when you finally get it free.

You can always remove the steering gear tower. There is a big hole under it and you can clearly see the clutch mechanics.

You can remove the starter motor and might be able to made (Bend) a large screw driver, or pry bar into the hole. I can look down into the hole by removing the starter motor so, if you can see it you can get to it.

tie the clutch down, put it in first or reverse, then rock the tractor using the rear wheels. we used to pull the inspection cover on old cars and use a screw driver to pry the clutch plate loose from the flywheel or pressure plate, but danged if I can find the inspection cover on these Ns.
