The Only TD I have torn into is an 18 so my data is skimpy. If the left track clutch is stuck, it may require the deck to be pulled to get at it. Depending on how long the unit was not run, there is a chance it will break free. If you run it the way it is, rope the Left clutch back so it is driving as though turning this places load on the clutch packs, and it may break loose. The transmission output drives a bevel gear and ring gear turning the power 90 degrees. The ring gear shaft extends on either side into a track clutch housing. The clutch is a multi disk unit about 14 inches in diameter. The ring gear shaft has couplings on the end that bolt together allowing the clutch shaft to be removed without splitting the case. The clutch housing is bolted to the bull pinion flange on the outboard side with a series of cap screws around the preimeter (8 of them I think) These bolts are removed and the band brake around each clutch is disconnected and moved sideways then (maybe)removed. A hoist is attached to a sling (and at least one bolt hole) to lift the clutch up and out. It weighs ~250 or more (that is a guess, but it is not to be done lifting by hand). The hardest part is removing all the components from the cover and getting it off of the finals.
A parts book is manditory, as is a repair manual. The clutch has a spring in it that compresses the disks that will send a Farmall M to the moon if let go by accident. A 60 ton press is requires to be safe during disassembly, and needed as well to put it together.
Good luck and let us know what the status is on the repair. They are not complex, just heavy.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
