801 ford clutch stuck

My 801 diesel clutch sticks after I put it in gear. I can depress the clutch and the tractor will continue to go for about 5 to 10 seconds, or I can press the brake and it will stop
 
Could be the disc is worn slick. They have grooves machined in the disc surface to break the vacuum to
prevent just what you describe.

Or could be oily. Either way, get ready, it's about that time!
 
Hello bbp welcome to YT. How much do you use this
tractor. Does it set around in the winter and in the
summer is just a parade tractor? I would try
intentionally slipping it. Get in the open and set the
throttle about 3/4 open and put it in road gear. Lightly
hold the brakes and slowly let the clutch up. Let it slip
a good 8 to 10 seconds then at the end let it engage.
Repeat this two of three times. Then let it cool off and
see if it helped any. I do not know if you can access the
clutch to spray it with brake clean by removing the
starter or if there is another access plate. If it is oily in
there it may help to spray it first.
