Update:
Out of business and necessity, I have been starting it with everything still engaged. I know, I know but circumstances prevented it.
SO, my wife was mowing and the deck belt snapped. I just pulled the deck off now, removed the drive belt and started the tractor. The clutch was spinning and there was small sparks coming off what I think are the magnets. (I'm kinda clutch illiterate) Then I pulled the PTO switch and the plate opens but its still sparking. Something isn't functioning properly.
Does this give anyone a better clue of what is wrong?
I did try to remove the clutch and the crank just spins. Not sure how to hold that either. Not much room there to get an impact wrench on that bolt.
I don't mean to be a pain in the butt guys but I take pride in my 6 acres and its starting to get long. :biggrin:

I hope you've got your new clutch in by now. I was going to tell you about using a length of clothesline stuffed down the sparkplug hole to keep the engine from turning over while you unbolt the clutch.
