MKirsch: A dead battery would never lock the starter, a least not when trying to restart. What might have happened is starter drive stayed engaged after the last start, thus engine was driving the starter until it stopped. That one will kill a good battery in about 30 seconds, even if the charging system is working perfectly.
I had just that happen with my 130 last summer, starter switch stuck, I only moved it 10' then shut it off. 30 seconds later I heard the battery boiling. $100. battery and a $210. starter rebuild later I was back in business. The starter drive was not damaged. CaseIH however did get an ear full about that oriental starter switch they sold me 3 months earlier. Damn sorry state of affairs when the original US manufactured starter switch lasted 49 years, and the replacement 90 days. The old switch didn't screw up a starter and battery when it failed either.
