I have a Super 55 diesel that I just purchased. When I engage the starter it does not turn the motor over. I have rocked(manually) the tractor with it in gear and still have not had any luck. Due I dare give it a pull? Is my only option to pull the head? I really don't want to do that if I don't have to. The soft plugs in the head will need to come out in any case. Can I pour diesel or something in there and see if it will free up? Any help will be appreciated.

My self I would never fill cylinders with vinagar. Its an acid and will eat the cylinders/rings. My self the last diesel I had that was locked up I fill the cylinders with turpentine, not paint thinner but to true stuff turpentine and in less then a day it was spinning over. Also make sure you have all the injector out when you try to turn it over again or you will have to hunt for them like I did when it popped free and one flew about 30 feet. Also don't try to pull it or you can bend thing/ brake thing in the engine.

pull the injectors and fill it full of vinegar and let sit, fill it again and most of the time it will free spin.
