First some background. I'll be 74 in 2 weeks & have been overhauling my own since I was 15 & have maintained (including complete overhauls) a fleet of trucks (Ford & IH) at a previous job. All this to say I am not a newcomer to wrenches!
I have my IH Cub LoBoy 154 (IH C60 engine) torn down, have replaced rings, bearings, etc.. At each step I turned the engine w/a wrench. When I had it all together it would not turn even when pulled.
Tore it down again, checked the mains, retorqued them, turned it (wrench) mounted it, & it won't turn over.
Pulled it out again, checked the mains w/a mic, replaced the one that was giving me the most trouble w/the old one. I can now turn it (wrench) but the starter won't turn it. Tried pulling it again - just skids the tires.
What am I missing? & where do I go next? (Actually I am going to the grandkids for a few days & will let it stew!)
Any suggestions???
Thanks!
