Stuck clutch on 620

[mridgeelk]

I fired up my 620 today for the first time in over a year. The clutch is engaged and will not release. Do I just take it apart and clean the discs if necessary. The hand lever moves but no response. Anything I should watch for? Thanks

You need to play with the stuff more than once a year

If you are referring to this model JD620...You will have to split the tractor...

Before you split it,try putting it in the fastest gear and have someone tow it while you control it w/ the switch off and the clutch disengaged. When it's going approx. 3-4 mph step on both brakes hard to see if engine inertia will break it loose.
OH,and next time park it w/ the clutch disengaged.

Glad to help. That's a lot easier than splitting it.
