MyL 2350 clutch won't depress. The clutch is not slipping I can drive it fine just can't shift when the engine is running. It just won't disengage. Does anyone have any ideas?
Clutch pedal Stuck

I assume the pedal can't be pushed down? If that's what I'm understanding, you have two options. #1 (the easiest), follow the linkage to where the arm goes into the transmission case. Should be a rod that pivots in the case itself. Spray it down with penetrating oil and keep trying to make it move. Might as well spray all of the linkages down. #2 (the hard and "correct" way)....split tractor, remove the clutch release fork from the actuating rod, remove the rod from the trans case, clean the corrosion/rust off, grease it up and reinstall it.
What Lugbolt said. And penetrating oil is NOT wd40. Kroil or something similar, PB blaster will do. Wd40 is to keep things from rusting!!

Can you clarify - it seems like what you are describing is a clutch that isn't disengaging? Or am I misunderstanding it and it is just the pedal won't budge?
I think what he is describing, and Lugbolt offered solutions, is the clutch in not being activated because the linkage is in a bind. First, easiest, option is to free up the linkage so it works as it should. If it does not come free the solution is to split the tractor to get the rod that goes across the bellhousing "de-rusted" and working again.
