Clutch still stuck.

[bwilso]

Is there anyway to unstick a clutch through the starter cavity? I've tried driving around and no luck. Really don't want to split the tractor so any ideas are appreciated.
Tractor is a 19571sh 600.

Some have reported that spraying brake cleaner on the clutch through the starter hole has helped, while others said that it did no good for them. I've never had the problem so I can't say one way or the other.

I can't recall for sure, but I think once I changed the clutch pedal adjustment so I could get more 'throw' on the pivot and drove it around while stomping on it, and jerking the throttle in 2nd and 3rd. After 20 min it finally unstuck. I was going to pull the starter next, but didn't need to. It was so long ago I can't remember how I changed the clutch throw on the pedal. Diff spline? Adjuster fork? Moved the foot rest? One of them let me move the PP further away and somehow helped to unstick.

I just hook up my box scraper with the scarifier teeth all the way down then ride around with my foot on the clutch.

If you are going to do this I would suggest slowing the engine down as slow as you can without it dying while under a load, then pull the throttle open. The pulsing of the cylinders when lugging at a low speed is helpful to vibrate it loose. Putting the load on it in the highest possible gear is also a good tip. Also driving it in as high a gear as you can get it shifted to and then suddenly hitting both brakes as hard as possible even to the point of sliding the tires is another way to shock the drivetrain.

4 speed or 5 speed 2 stage? I have some home made tools take we use to unstick clutches with through the starter hole. Sometimes we succeed, and sometimes we don't.

I've had luck with the brake cleaner method but it also took working the clutch along with some gentle prying before it came loose.
