Ford 4550 tractor digger Clutch stuck.

Hi Guys,

looking at a digger in the morning which has a stuck clutch.
Best way to approach getting it free,
guessing it’s just not been used for a while.

Am I best to dismantle it in place or would it bump free?

thx.

Had a New Holland combine would do that over winter, always bumped free in a few yards.

Had it with cars,start in gear and keep jamming foot on the brakes

You start it up in neutral and let it get warm first before bumping.. apparently it makes a big difference.

Thanks for all the replies guys, had a look at it today, it has rear legs to lift the rear wheels off the ground. Plan to do this and start it up in gear, press clutch pedal Deon, rev the engine and apply the brakes.
will be next weekend now so I’ll post the out come.
