It could be any one of the roll pins in the clutch linkage, from the pedal to the clutch release bearing fork. Since the PTO clutch releases at the very end of the pedal travel, a sheared roll pin anywhere could be preventing the full pedal movement from being transferred to the next stage of the linkage. It can be darned difficuylt to visually identify a sheared/broken pin, too. You may have to scribe a line across the joint and have someone else push the pedal while you look very closely (even with a magnifier) to see if there is slop indicating a bad pin.
There are better roll pins made, called spiral spring pins, or you can nest two standard roll pins as Mttoptv suggested.
