This handle should be long enough to come into contact with the drawbar. Put this wrench on in a fashion so when you try to bump it over the handle is stopped by the draw bar. With the PTO engaged, hit the starter and see if it will break it loose.

Thanks for the tip will try that. Another person told me to put tractor in high gear press on clutch and pull it backward. You think that might work? Or will that tear something up?

Tie down the clutch.
Start it in 1st gear and hog the dickens out of the heaviest brush you can find.
Then make sure you tie the clutch down when you park it so it won't stick again DAMHIKT
