How does the pedal feel? Does it have the free play it needs? About 1". Is the fork in the right location to push the throw out bearing?

Just to be clear when you say clutch won't disengage the clutch pedal goes down all the way but the clutch doesn't release? If that's the case with everything you've replaced it has to be the linkage from the pedal to fork that out of adjustment?

Clutch pedal has been adjusted every which way and feels good .but can not disengage the clutch to put in gear .I've placed the clutch fork in the way it looked in the diagram.

I've ran that rod out as far as it will go and and still won't release the clutch

Rear main on the engine, or input bearing on the transmission being bad can cause this. But it is rare.

Do, you have a helper to push on the pedal while you look at things, to verify the throw out bearing is pushing in on the clutch fingers? Have you checked every joint in the mechanism between the pedal and the throw-out bearing?

I had the same thing happen on my old B7100. It turns out, there was enough surface "drag" with the new clutch disk, that it kept the input shaft spinning even when the clutch was disengaged. An old timer at the Kubota dealer told me to hook up the mower to the PTO, start the engine and "let er run awhile with the clutch disengaged".

Well, it worked! The mower turned slowly at first but put enough drag on the clutch to wear in the new disk.

This may not be the trouble in your case though, since the problem occurred with the old clutch.

Thanks for that information, when I bought it it was doing the same thing but the throw_out bearing was bad so I decided since I had to split it I'd replace everything ,no matter how hard i press the pedal it won't release
