How to free a stuck D250 clutch

I have (2) D-250's. Two weeks ago i found *both* of them had their clutches sticking. They were both working fine the week prior. I figure the humidity must've done something. So I tried every trick in the book to get them free - jamming against a tree, pressing/depressing the clutch pedal, quickly accelerating, braking and gunning the throttle - nothing worked. 

 

Then I found a trick that frees the clutch in 10 minutes - with a paint scraper! Underneath the tractor, the oil pan has an inspection window. If i hold the clutch pedal down with my hand (while underneath), I can stick the paint scraper in between the flywheel and clutch plate and free it up. Rotate the motor and repeat in the 3 sections of the clutch that are accessible through the window, and voila! After about 10 minutes I can get it free! It worked like a charm on the one, so I did the same on the 2nd, and now they're both free!

 

Hope this helps folks out in the future who get their clutches stuck!

      IT'S a D-180 & IT'S all MINE!!
      By Southern_Secret
      Hello fellow Horse Heads long time no post for me, life gets crazy & a lot of things change sometimes but anyhoo. So back a few years ago when I first got my 1994 314-H I had it at my shop going threw it. One of my customers walk past as im working and said, you know I think Iv got a Wheel Horse & im thinking "no you dont buddy". I give him my # to send pics thinking it was a big waste of time & after getting the pics I realized he did have a Wheel Horse! I hand shake bought it right there, asked him to bring it to my store & he said no problem. Well after almost 2 years it is finally in my orbit. I know very little about it other than his father-inlaw got it new and used it around his house moving snow and stuff. His father inlaw moved down south here when his daughter got married and gave the tractor to my customer because he had a farm & his the inlaw had no use for it anymore. Same with every barn find, "it was running when parked" 8 years ago, said one of the axel seal is leaking. Im happy and hope I can get it back in running order soon cause it is going to be handy around the truck farm!!
