I bought an IH 404 and I think the dang engine is locked up. Of COURSE that wasn't disclosed. I don't know much about tractors, but I do know that I cannot afford to send this one to the local tractor shop. I have read all of the available Farmall forums, and learned to use a screw driver/pry bar to try to spin the fly wheel. It won't spin. Sprayed P-Blaster into each of the spark plug holes a few times several days apart and still cannot move the fly wheel. Can't rock it because the tires are bad and flat. Can anyone tell me what I should do next? attached a picture of the beauty I bought. Under all that paint seems to be a nightmare. The guy said it ran fine 3 years ago. I've pulled the gas tank because there was a lot of rust. ANY help is appreciated. I've Thanks!--Stephanie
