My 63 had been sitting on the trailer for almost a month. took it off the trailer today and when you press the clutch down it does not stop the driveshaft. What could be causing this?
Thanks

Scotty - the clutch disk is probably stuck to the flywheel surface. If you can safely start it and drive it around with the clutch pushed it, it might break free.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!

Scotty,
When my Cadets do that if they don’t break loose like Bigdog says, put the clutch pedal in the release position than, use a long handle punch type tool, put one end of the tool on the clutch pressure plate or clutch face plate (see picture were red spots are) and tap the other end with a hammer. Don’t hit the clutch plate. It should release.

Scotty: I take it you didn't have the clutch pedal 'locked down' during the time it was on the trailer?.
To unstick the clutch on an Original, you need to lock the clutch pedal down, and using a flat blade screwdriver, pop the rear pressure plate apart from the friction material that is on the back side of the drive belt hub. Once the rear plate is free, pop the front pressure plate away from the friction material that is on the front of the drive belt hub.
The clutches on Originals almost always stick when not used for extended periods, and the clutch is left engaged.
Bigdog: The engine on an Original is mounted above the frame, and the clutch is underneath the frame...it is a different type of set up from what you are describing.
Jack F. Your picture is of a NF clutch set up. They are different from an Original. An Original doesn't have an exposed friction plate..the friction material is on each side of the hub that is turned by the drive belt, and the friction material is pretty much the same size as the pressure plates are. A punch will most likely not be effective for 'unsticking' the clutch on an Original.

As promised, here are the pictures.
This picture of an Original clutch is what you would see if you looked under the right side of the tractor frame. The drive belt from the engine (which sits on top of the frame) would be in the grooves of the drive hub.
Once you lock the clutch pedal down (which removes the spring pressure on the rear pressure plate) take a flat blade screwdriver, and pop the back pressure plate loose from the drive hub.
After you have released the back side, then pop the hub free from the front pressure plate
Hope this helps.....
