stuck clutch solved

[BARNACLE BILL]

FYI ---- I HAD STUCK CLUTCH (HIGH SUMMER HUMIDITY RUSTED CLUTCH PLATE TO FLYWHEEL) ON MY FORD 3000. YAS ALL GAVE ME SOME GOOD ADVICE AND I FINALLY SOLVED THE PROBLEM. I HOOKED TO A 2 BOTTOM PLOW / FOUND THE HARDEST GROUND POSSIBLE AND PLOWED FOR AN HOUR PUSHING THE CLUTCH PEDAL FREQUENTLY WITH NO RESULTS. I THEN TIED THE CLUTCH PEDAL DOWN AND AFTER ANOTHER 1/2 HOUR PLOWING IT FINALLY BROKE LOOSE. ALL IS WELL. THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT.

I have had that happen a couple times with my 5000. I idled the bucket up against a tree and shut it off. Then I started it in a higher gear and it broke loose. I am sure people will find fault with that method but it worked for me.

I'm sorry, I started it in neutral and then bumped it into a higherr gear as carefully as I could.
