One guess might be badly fatigued springs in the pressure plate.
Combining your symptoms with the inspection result that nothing whatsoever is wrong with the clutch linkage or its adjustment, I am hard pressed for any solution to suggest that does not involve disassembly and inspection of the parts.

One keyboard jockey's input does not a solution make.
It's no longer Winter outside, but hopefully there will be input from others.

Pull the dust cover from the bottom of the bellhousing, have somebody depress the clutch pedal then check the clearance between the disc and the flywheel or pressure plate. If there is clearance, see if the disc will move forward and back on the input shaft splines.
If it won't move for/aft the disc is too tight on the input shaft, if it will move for/aft but won't spin the pilot bearing is too tight.

Whoops! Just reread the post. Guess you already tried this. Good luck!
This is a common problem on tractors that are left sitting over winter especially in high humidity areas. The clutch disc may be rusted to the flywheel. You may be able to break it loose by putting the trany in top gear and with the clutch pushed in bump the starter several times. Keep our foot on the brakes and block the tires. You might also pull the coil wire too.
