Somewhere else there is a post on this subject?
Last summer I helped a friend get a totally restored R2 out of the shed and the clutch was stuck in that also but in that case the condition of the clutch is a known.
Your clutch condition is unknown.
Have you tried squirting the shafts, splines and linkages to loosen up any rusted stuck parts?
A diesel you need to be standing beside it to get it started, then you need to be pointed into a big field in case it gets away. In a subdivision, in the garage is not a good place to be! If you can't stop it, it will do alot of damage till it stops! If you do decide to do this, then tie the steering clutch levers back to disengage those to prevent it from moving.
If it was me I would do it if I knew that I may end up pulling the engine to work on the clutch.
Thanks guys, I pulled the inspection cover off last night, the handle does move everything to the pilot bearing. appears to be some rust down in there, I hit all the moving parts with PB blaster. I'll check the clutch adjustment this morning. Your right I posted this under another subject but reread it and it was confusing

Or just leave the valves open
Farmboy, hook the D2 toa disk and work it while holding the clutch disengaged and riding the brake. You might get lucky and it will break free.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
