I've never had and issue with this before but it's been sitting a lot and the clutch will not release..I had to start it in gear and drive it for about 20mins for it to release...Any idea what i may need to do??

Now to figure out how i get it to release again..i drove it up and down the road for 30 to 35 mins and it still won't release...grrr
I used to have a Ford 8N that would occasionally have the clutch plates stick together when sitting for long periods of time and once started and rolling along all one had to do was jam on the brakes with the clutch pedal pushed in at the same time and the load would break the clutch plates back apart. Curiously.....I have a very old Satoh Bull and a Satoh Beaver and they both have a factory installed, hinged peg to hold the clutch pedal down when the tractors are not in use. I assume some types of clutch plate materials have a tendency to stick together over periods of time and the mfgs. just accounted for this with the manual pegs.
