if you had the clutch pedal tied down and it wont engage the only way to fix is tear it down as far as i know.
if you mean clutch wont disengage so you can put it in gear,you can start it in gear and ride around mashing clutch and goosing throttle...hitting brakes now and then with clutch helps too...just be carefull

Be careful because the inertia of a spinning engine might just surprise you when you least expect it, and something could get broken or someone get hurt. Been there, done that. Not with one of my tractors, but with one of my Harleys. Clutch disengaged, didn't engage, thought was out of gear, it wasn't. Fired it up, it reved real high as I was about to shut it off, STANDING NEXT TO IT, the clutch pressure plate springs disengaged and the disks locked up real good like they were supposed to...and it was in gear. Did the best danged burnout it ever did, with me standing next to it, headed for the garage and the Buick. I tackled it. Not too much got broke. Lot of stuff could have gotten broken, especially if it roared into the garage and bounced off of the Buick. Did one heck of a burnout just the same.

Be careful.

Get your terminology correct... you mean to say it won't DISENGAGE!

Read a lot about that over the years, never had it happen.

Until this fall right before the 1st snow, the Ollie S77 has a stuck clutch. With a grain drill on it, driven into tight quarters.

Snow came before I could get it dealth with, and the drifts re feet high now here in MN, so will have to be a spring project.

I guess you mean disengage. I have sprayed them with WD40. It evaporates pretty fast. If you can't spray it drill a small hole in the right direction. Had a 420 JD had to cut a board the right length to hold the clutch down. It was the pto that wouldn't disengage. I actually had my brother hold the petal down and I threw a 24 in pipe wrench on the pto while it was running. Don't do this at home kids these are trained professionals. Vic

Had the clutch on a '70 F250 stick. Had to pull the trans. That thing was so stuck, I had to drive a chisel into the gap between the disc and flywheel. Sat for a couple of days, no workee, that's all it took.
