8T16361 and up, 70D or 71D are oil clutch graders. The engine oil is pumped into the clutch and returns by the flywheel and clutch flinging it back into the engine.

Breaking a clutch loose is easier in high gear. If you have good brakes, drive along with the clutch all the way down and hit the brakes until it breaks free. If no brakes, chain something behind it to act as the brakes and do the same thing. You might want to try chaining it to something heavy or even immovable and use a lower gear, again with the clutch pedal held down the whole time.

Shouldn't be too badly stuck if it's an oil clutch. They will sometimes move a little when the engine is started just from the drag of oil between the clutch disks

Before you do any of that stuff, you probably should look in the clutch housing and check that everything moves properly in there when someone presses the pedal.
D2-5J's, D6-9U's, D318 and D333 power units, 12E-99E grader, 922B & 944A wheel loaders, D330C generator set, DW20 water tanker and a bunch of Jersey cows to take care of in my spare time😄

Testimonials

"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."
