So I parked my Super C last fall and it was running ok. Go to crank it up Saturday and the engine seems to be seized. The starter engages, then pulls a lot of amps but will no move the flywheel. Tried two batteries, one of which is brand new so its not a lack of amps. Tried turning the crank by hand, couldnt get it to budge. Tried putting the tractor into gear then rocking by hand, again would not budge.
I have not pulled the plugs to look in the cylinder yet. Whats the best course of action? Soak the cylinders in WD-40 or ATF? Pull the tractor real slow and dump the clutch to bump it free? Hook the air compressor to the cylinder to try to move it that way?
I'm open to ideas, as I said it ran fine in September when I parked it, It was uncovered but the flapper sealed pretty well, and the air cleaner should have kept any moisture out of the intake.
