Jack up the rear end and put it safely on blocks. Get the rear wheels spinning and slam on the brakes. Might have to do it a couple of times but it should break the bond between the clutch and flywheel. Repeat: Safely on blocks. There is a lot of inertia with the rear wheels spinning and the tractor will want to move when you do this!

Start it when in gear, rocking it, not taking off and running it but just enough to rock it then turn it off a few times unstuck mine. Ford mechanic told me that sometimes it will unstick it...it did. Beats paying $3000 to split the tractor to replace it and it has been running fine since. Happens when tractor isn't covered and lots of moisture in the air.
