TE 20 engine problem

I can't turn my engine over. I shut the engine off as it was running fine. Came back later and tried to start it and all I got was a clunking sound. Thought it must be the starter and took it out and tried it and worked fine. Took a small pry bar and tried to move the flywheel, but couldn't budge it. Jacked up one side of tractor and tried to turn tire, and couldn't do it. When starter was still in, had it towed behind truck and tried dumping clutch in all the gears, but wheels locked up and skidded in every gear.
Any good ideas?

Early TO 20s had the ring gear for the starter installed on the flywheel from the wrong side. Possiblys some TE20 were the same way. Look in the hole where the starter came out and see if the teeth from the ring gear are jammed to the bell housing.

Try removing all of the spark plugs. There is probably a hydrostatic lock... Meaning that one or more cylinders are filled with a liquid... Maybe gas, most likely coolent. Since you can't compress a liquid the engine can't turn over.

Good luck!
