I have run old D4 & D6 tractors with only 1 clutch releasing, like shovelman said try it with the lever pulled back. Heck tie it back and run it on some rough grading or clearing. If you have to pull the clutch outI can scan the pages from a service manual to you.

Does the Cat run? If it does take it out and run
it back and forth while riding the Brakes to
heat the drums. If you can run it far and fast
better yet. Get them good and hot and release the
clutches while holding the brake. Take up on the
adjustment as much as you can. You are better off
to do as much as you can to unstick them because
it is a real big job to get in to them and if they are stuck you would likely have to break the drums
to get it apart. I would not worry about a little brake wear in this case. Let us know if this works.

Chris,

As Hector stated, it is a dry clutch. There is a pipe plug on the bottom of each clutch housing that you should periodically remove and drain any water, oil, etc..

If the tractor is operable, try running it back and forth with the affected clutch released (lever pulled back). This is a multiple disc clutch and sometimes shocking it a little will shake it loose. Be sure to oil the 2 release bearings (small oil cups near the inside front edge of the seat) DO NOT USE GREASE.

If you can't get it loose, you may have to pull the final drive. It is fairly large and heavy, so you will need a shop crane or 2 floor jacks on a concrete floor to do it.

Many parts are still available from Cat, and used parts are around. I have a few clutch/final parts left over from my last D-2 project, so let me know if you need anything.

Good luck,
Scott
