Tractor related tip !

My BIL works at a large farm in eastern Pa they had some older machinery and a couple tractors stored in a shed that weren't used because of the newer ones the labor force liked better for mowing so he decided to see if they ran.

to get to the point I see some post of stuck clutches, and how to free them.

This farm had people there that when they were put into storage had blocked the clutch with a block of wood so it remained released.

He said it don't seem to have any adverse affects on the spring being weak because of staying in a stretched position for a long period of time
 
Most springs in clutches are compressed when the pedal is pushed in.

The clutch disc doesn't always get stuck to the engine flywheel
But can also get rusted to the shaft which won't let it release or slide away from the flywheel and/or the pressure plate.
The disc can also become stuck to the pressure plate thus causing the transmission shaft to continue to spin.
Any three of these problems can cause you not to be able to get the shift lever in or out of gear while the engine is running or make it unable to stop the tractor by pushing in the clutch while driving.
