You can try rocking it in 5th gear like the tractorvet suggests below. But it must go BACKWARD to release the starter - going forward will be impossible, and could jam the starter even harder.

The hand crank won't work since crankshaft must be turned backward to release the starter. (Rachet action by the crank drive only lets it turn the crankshaft forward...)

Loosening the bolts holding the starter several turns, then giving the starter a tap with a block of wood always works. (I always kept a 3/4" box wrench aboard my Super H for that purpose only).

Don't bother oiling the ring gear - it will have no effect. And if any oil gets past the ring gear and into the clutch you will suddenly have ANOTHER reason to split the tractor!

Some guys have had success "sharpening" rounded ring gear teeth with a file or Dremel tool. But it's kinda tedious and it's in a very tight space....will give you a good appreciation for the kinda work your denist does all day.

With my tractors I found a new starter drive tends to jam more often in a worn ring gear than does a worn drive. So sticking the old starter drive back on may help get the tractor started.

Also before hitting the starter, turn the crank 90 degrees (1/4 turn) from it's normal resting spot. This will present relatively unworn ring gear teeth to the starter and greatly reduce the chance of the starter jamming when you hit the button.

Good luck!
