Clutch stuck on SH

My old standby that I always depend on has done something that has never happened before. The clutch is stuck and no matter how hard you stomp it or try to hold back with brakes it won't stop. What should I look for? It sat for 2 weeks and I noticed it last week it did it when I started it up but it corrected. Now there is no correcting.
I was wanting to cut hay friday. open to any recomendations.
 
Clutch disk has gotten stuck (rusted) to the flywheel/pressure plate. It happens sometimes to my SH when it sits idle too long. Breaking it free is simple:

- Move the tractor to hard, level piece of ground

- Start the engine in neutral, let it warm up a few minutes then shut it down. (This is so it will start easily in the next step)

- Put the transmission in 4th and restart the engine. (If it won't start in 4th, start it in 1st then with the engine idling "snap shift" it sequentially thru the gears into 4th.

- Now depress the clutch, open the throttle wide then step HARD on both brakes. The clutch should break free as the engine gets dragged down.

---

If this doesn't do it, with the tractor rolling in 4th, float shift it into 5th then repeat the last step above.
 
Common problem with any tractor and the archives are full of stuff about how to fix. #1 block the clutch pedal down when parked. #2 if it will start in gear take it for a long drive if and only if you can do so safely. #3 pull the starter and spray the clutch with brake cleaner spray with the pedal blocked down and turn the engine over so as to cover the whole clutch
 
I see you have a Stage II.

Remove the access plate on the bottom of the torque tube, and you can get at the entire clutch and pressure plate with the brake cleaner.

Worse case you can replace the clutch and pressure plate through the access hole without splitting the tractor.
 
If it has only sat for two weeks I would expect the the more likely problem is something like a pivot pin coming out of one of the pressure plate release levers.
