We dragged a truck around the shop about 20 times while holding the clutch down
on the tractor the truck steerer would periodically step on the brakes until
the tractor's wheels slipped. I'd also heard of stuck clutch disks.
So either its stuck amazingly bad, the linkage is messed up (it appears to be a
manual linkage) or the throwout arm is busted.
My best guess is the linkage is disconnected, it doesn't feel like anything is
happening, there are no bad noises and the owner reports it worked one day and
didn't work the next...

I may actually be doing this relatively soon. I think I've stumbled on
to what may be an excellent deal on a small diesel tractor with a loader
and a bad clutch. Whats actually bad about it is that it never
disengages...
Bad linkage or hydraulics, or the disk is rust bonded to the pressure plate
and/or flywheel. Get it rolling and jam the loader in the ground with the
clutch
pedal held down, see if the clutch breaks loose before the tires spin.
Mitch.
