Country Lad is right if it is the dry or engine clutch controled by the foot pedal. If it is the wet or transmission clutch controled by the hand lever on the right side of the steering wheel, well then you must support the frame of the tractor with two legs to the ground about where the back of the bellhousing is. these legs must have a long "foot" bolted to the bottom to keep the front of the tractor from tipping as you remove the back half. The legs must be bolted to the frame with two bolts to the leg to hold them in place. You "pre load" them a bit to take the weight of the tractor, unbolt the frame rails from the rear axle, along with the steering wheel support, and a few other things, and then with a support under the drawbar support roll the back of the tractor back. This will allow you to access the hand clutch and remove it. There is more to this job than I have described here. At the very least you need a reprint of a factory repair manual. It isn't a hard job but if you are not comfortable with it get some help. To put the tractor back together a big help is two pieces of 3/4" rod about 12 or 15" long threaded on one end. Screw these into the rear end where the frame rails are bolted, one on each side, helps to aling things when you are rolling the back half into the front. When doing this make sure the shaft sticking out of the transmission is centered into it's hole before rolling the back forward. Again, get the book.
