I have a 1957 Ford 601 workmaster it sits quite a bit as I only use it to mow some acreage at a summer property. I fired it up yesterday. I couldn’t get it to go into gear appears the clutch was frozen to the pressure plate. I was able to start it up in reverse get out of my parking spot and then holding the clutch pedal down tried driving around speeding up throttle slowing down throttle jamming gears. Eventually it broke free and the clutch started working again. However, my PTO will no longer engage. What did I break?
 
601 is a series of tractors. Which particular model within the series is it?

These are the most common models with manual transmissions:

641 - 4 speed non-live PTO
651 - 5 speed non-live PTO
661 - 5 speed live PTO

Also, when you say that the PTO will no longer engage, will the handle move to the engaged position but the PTO does not spin, or does the handle not move to the engaged position?
