Yeoman Farmer: You'll notice the hub of the clutch disc extends out further on one side. If you place a straight edge across clutch disc surface this is very noticable, although you can see it just holding the disc on edge in front of you. The short side of hub faces the flywheel.

I'm banking on you not being able to turn that shaft with one bare hand. Lets face it, you don't have mechanical advantage, more like mechanical disadvantage would be the order of the day. With clutch tied down, pto in gear, transmission in neutral, you'll be turning everything, pto, transmission top shaft, shaft to clutch and the clutch disc. Not only is that a lot to turn, given what you have to grab hold of. Going backwards through the pto, power train will have close to a 3 to 1 speed increase. Your going to be turning the top shaft all the way to and including clutch disc 3 times the speed of the pto shaft you have grip on.

When you get it working perfect, try turning the pto shaft by hand with pto engaged and clutch tied down for 20 minutes steady, then write me an e mail, telling me how your arm feels.
