[AT] Stuck clutch JD 60

[charlie hill]

Dean I'm thinking Joe said that cyl had some water in it.

 I've heard of adapting an old spark plug base with a grease fitting so you 
can pump a cyl full of grease.  The pressure of the grease gun applies 
gentle pressure to the piston once the cylinder is full of grease.  I 
haven't tried that trick yet.
