and now the clutch is sticky even i press the clutch pedal it continue to run.
anyone as a solution for this problem

I think you will find that the problem is rust on the input shaft and pressure plate, which keeps things from moving freely. The best solution is to use the tractor and work the rust off using the clutch. If it won't free up, the only solution that I have found unfortunately is to split the tractor and wire brush, etc. the rust away.

If you are going to park it for a while, make sure to block the clutch pedal down some via a 2x4 pressing on the seat or something like that.

Good luck!

tank you thomas !
I have worked whit it 2 hours yesterday keeping the clutch press all the time and no improuvement
I find the way to use it by putting the shifter (hi lo)in between and than put in gear 2 and than putting back to the lo gear for one time is ok but i will not do it again becose the only way to stop is by the hi lo shifter.
Iwill open it and do like you said

tank you again

There should be a latch down by the clutch linkage you can use once you get it cleaned up.
