This happens once in while with our 850 JD when it hasn't been used in a while. It usually comes unstuck with the method Raye described. (Not sure if it will work for a Ford or not) We start it up and drive it around in a field. Step on one brake or the other repeatedly and it usually comes unstuck. If this didn't work, we have tried putting it in low gear (shifting gears without the clutch it pretty tough) and run it into a big tree. Now, I know this sounds bad, but the 850 has a weigh rack on the front and running into a tree in low gear does absolutly no damage. As the tractor pushes against the immovable tree, it will unstick the clutch. If all else fails, as it did once for us, take it to a dealer and they can unstick it for sure. (May have to split it) Next time the tractor will sit up for a long time, depress the clutch pedal and prop it that way with a 2x4 or something like that. This will prevent the clutch from sticking again.
