Hello Sam welcome to YT! Hopefully you are just using some colorful and expressive wording to describe your problem and your tractor did not actually bend. There is another poster on here that goes by the name Tractor Vet, many will agree he tends to exaggerate things using common terms as you have. I do not know the exact materials the main sections of your tractor are made out of, most American built tractors the main sections are cast iron. If cast iron is distorted more than a couple thousands of an inch it usually cracks or breaks similarly to a piece of pottery. The main section of your tractor may be stamped or formed malleable steel. Not sure how knowledgeable you are on this kind metal terminology but examples of this are cold roll plate steel and angle iron. If your tractor is made out of these materials they would be much more likely to sustain distortion or bending them would cast iron. If there actually is distortion like this bearing and shafts can be in a severe bind not allowing the engine to turn as you describe by saying it will not start. As was asked by another poster where you connected the chain during this task and more details of the ..bending.. if there actually is any would be helpful.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
