Here's the story. I bought a John Deere 1010 with a bad cylinder. I found an engine and figured that was the way to get it going. We pulled the engine and was ready to install the replacement when we found that the input shaft in the transmission does not turn. We can rotate the PTO as it should and the outer shaft turns as it should. We opened the trans cover and cannot get the main shaft to move. This tractor has been setting for over 10 years. What is the next thing that I should try? I have tried to rock it, jacked it up and turned the wheels. I also asked on the John Deere and Case boards. Please can someone help me?
