when you say the clutch is stuck do you mean the lever is frozen and the clutch is stuck as engaged? or the lever and clutch will disengage but the lining is stuck to the plate?
Maximum strain on the transmission clutch is when working in high gear.
If it's just the plate that's stuck, and prying with a bar etc won't free it up, you might be able to push the tractor off in high gear and have it chained securely to the pushing machine so it can act as a load. It takes some doing, to make all the arrangements and plenty of room to run, but I've done it a couple times on other vehicles.

I might try this...........
sounds like the throwout is seized , should be an easy fix. Take the top cover off and work from the lever to see what's stuck
Do you mean the small cover where the clutch can be adjusted? I have that off, and when I move the lever back and forth, as it will wiggle a little, nothing on the clutch will move.
Just to confirm, the clutch lever is stuck forward in the slot in the floor plates but will wiggle slightly?
Sounds like you have a start on getting all that linkage and the release bearing loosened up with some sort of spray, pry bar etc. I would get it working freely so once you get the clutch unstuck, you can adjust it and slip it a little to polish the rust out of it and drive the tractor back to the shop.

Yes , the clutch lever is in the forward position, and it will wiggle a little. The linkage seems to be loose all the way down to the clutch, but the brass collar behind the clutch won't move. The whole assembly seems to be stuck. I ran the adjustment back away from the engine a long way, and I thought I might try push it with another dozer and see what happens. I should be able to use the steering clutches to control it. It may be a few days before I have time to try it.

"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."
