Stuck engine or rusted clutch on an A?

My old 41A ran fine before parking it for the winter a few year's back. Then in spring when I'd gone to fire her up the flywheel got harder and harder to spin over until eventually she was completely stuck as she's been ever since. Seem's to me a rusted stuck piston would have made it impossible for me to spin the engine at all however? So I was wondering if this doesn't sound more like perhaps a cluth basket problem of some kind? And not a frozen piston situation, to some of you more experianced men in the field?
And if so, where would a guy begin to look for this sort of a problem? Which covers would he remove firstly in order to check for this type of problem? And what might he then expect to be facing if in fact such a problem exsists? Thank's for your answers before hand as I know you guy's are the best and some of you are sure to post your advice.
