stuck clutch

[gary65cars]

the clutch on both my 102 and 108 are stuck. You can't stop them without the kill switch.Is it internal or can i do something without tearing it apart?

Not sure what a 102 or 108 is.

Assuming some sort of tractor, one thing to try would be mashing the brakes hard and trying to break the plates free.

On my dozer I used the brakes to break the steering clutches free after sitting for some time. Forward and back, forward and back.

G'day i have got them unstuck by driving around with my foot on the clutch and on and off the throttle, hope this works for you otherwise it's time to open her up

If you have a plow or box blade the would help put more stress on the clutch and maybe free it up. Just remember to keep the clutch pedal depressed.

Put it in the highest gear, block the clutch peddle down or have someone sit and hold it down and rock it back and forth with the rear tire. Not running of course.

This is a commonly discussed issue. Search under "stuck clutch" and you'll get all kinds of good advice. Based on what I've read you should be able to unstick your clutch without going internally.

Good luck, and be sure to post what works for you.

had it happen one time: had to break the tractor in two in order to get it unstuck: hope you have better luck.

Any chance it sat for while? Just a guess. Another suggestion that's worked for me:

Attach something to the PTO takes some energy to get started (a brushhog, chipper, etc). Then engage the PTO while holding down the clutch. If it doesn't break free then quickly accelerate the throttle while still holding down the clutch.
