Thought I had a starter problemo a while back. Starter would engage but not turning over the engine, etc. Well thought today I"d see if I could get the pistons to move. They had moved a few months ago when I thought it was another problem, spark or carberation. Now I"d like to free up the stuck engine. The area up front where I thought I could get a pipe wrench on, only turns a hydralic pump, on the same shaft as the main belt pulley. In looking for a place to crank or touque the crankshaft I decided to see what was in the oil pan. About a gallon of water and 6 qts of tan looking oil. drained. The pan is off now, waiting for a gasket. Any suggestion on freeing it up. Dad did a ring job and it aint run since.

Take the plugs out and put some penetrating oil in such as Kroil oil. Put the tractor in 4th gear, jack up ONE rear wheel (block the other) and rock the tire back and forth. That may loosen things up.

If it set out and got water down the exaust this may not work. Put a pipe wrench on the front just like you would the hand crank. Pull the flywheel inspection plate and get a crowbar, have one guy tork on the front and the other pry on the starter rein gear in the same direction. Also make sure you take out the plugs and squirt some PB or other type of lubricant down the cylenders. once it moves work her back and forth, then once it can be turnt all the way over and you do it a few times. Put the pan back on and Hook her up to another tractor and yank "er down the road in gear till compression comes back in the cylenders. Then throw the plugs back in and she should run, It"s work for us 3 or 4 times now.

I'm wondering if you might have bigger problems than a stuck engine. The gallon of water plus the gray oil indicate a water leak. Unless you've had it sitting outside for years with the exhaust pipe uncovered, you've got a more serious issue. It could be be a cracked head, cracked block, or bad o-rings at the base of the sleeves. I'd recommend pulling off the head immediately. If the head is cracked, you'll be able to pick up which cylinder is affected. If everything looks good on top, you'll probably need to pull the engine to look at the bottom of the block. You may be able to tell if the o-rings leak with the pan off and which ones are leaking but I have never been able to. Block cracks on the bottom are also hard to see. On one tractor I had, the top looked perfect. So I started examining the block and o-ring area. I couldn't decide which it was so I pulled the sleeves and discovered it was the o-rings. On another, it was both the o-rings and the block. Since you said there was water in the pan, is there a chance the water in the block froze?

Pull the plugs, blow out the cylinders with air if you can. Then fill each cylinder with tranny fluid and let it sit a few days. Make sure you put the plugs back in. My guess is he has the timing off and thats why it will not run
