Your clutch could be stuck to the flywheel from condensation forming.
This is a common problem and you can prevent this from happening if you place a block of wood between the clutch pedal arm and the underside of the step, this keeps the parts separated when not in use.
There is a hole in the bottom of the bellhousing that has a cotter pin in it that is called a "jiggle drain" and it should be kept clean, this prevents water from collecting inside the bellhousing.

- 1993 NH 2120 (the best), 1974 MF 135 (sold, but solid), 1947 Farmall A (bought, sold, bought back, sold again), 1956 MH50 lbt (sold, in 1980, darn it)
Search for "stuck clutch" in Parts and Repairs to dislodge the disc if that's the problem. How long did it sit before it stuck?
