I just bought a John Deere 318 with the motor partially removed. Owner said it had he thought it had a bad starter, because it would not turn over the motor. I took out the starter cleaned it up p, put 12 volts to it and it runs good. I have not put in back on.
I tried to turn the flywheel, it is seized up, will not move with a large channel lock on the flywheel nut. I took out the 2 spark plugs and it still will not move. The tractor had 1,040 hours.
What is my next move?? take off the oil pan and cylinder heads? Any idea's?
I paid $500 for the 318 and it came with the 54" front snow blade with the 2 hydraulic cylinders, so I know that the blade is at least worth that amount.
