After spending the last 6 months or so working to restore my '44 H - and replacing or restoring just about everything between the PTO and the radiator - I'm afraid she may have mowed her last field. On Sunday I took her out, warmed her up for 15 minutes or so and then went out to drag some brush into piles. The oil pressure was good & water temperature was ~ 130�. I had her in low idle and decided to shut the engine off while I got down to untangling the rope. When I climbed back on to start her, the engine was completely stuck. No noises, no smoke, nothing prior to the event - just stuck. I can't turn the engine over even with the plugs out, oil and water are full. My question is what next? I'm really only a novice at this and she was my first real project. What can I reasonably expect to do? I don't mind putting a little money into her (within reason)if rebuilding is an option, but is it worth it? After spending a lot of hours and more than a few bucks on her I'm hesitant to just scrap her for parts and write it off as experience. Any advice??

The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
