Hi

My name is Frank and I have owned a JD-40C Crawler loader for around 4 years. I have not had any problems with it till now. While moving the machine, I stepped down on the main clutch pedal and it did not return up. I can pull it up with my hands BUT it is very hard to do, it is not like a return spring is broken. I have had people tell me it is the pedal shaft frozen to the case, or, pull the motor the bearing is bad on the clutch. PLEASE help I need some advice what to do, Thanks

my 40c does the same especially in winter, all mine needs is lube were it goes into the housing, hopefully yours is the same

Not sure on the 40C, but 420C on up to 440C has a mouse cover on the bell housing. Open that cover and flash a light in there to find the throw out bearing. The grease zerk should be on the side where you can snake your grease gun hose in there and put a few pumps. Not too much or you create another issue, grease on the clutch plates.
