Good Luck!! ;-(,) Seriously ...... 1) Drain all fluids and replace. 2) See if you can prelube the oil system; i.e., flush oil somehow to make sure that the bearings have fresh oil. 3) Remove the injectors and place about a teaspoon of oil into each cylinder, others may disagree, but I prefer Marvel Mystery Oil for this 4) Try to turn the engine over by hand, through several revolutions to make sure that nothing is stuck or binding, especially stuck open valves. You can remove the valve cover to check valve movement when you hand turn the engine. 5) If the engine is stuck, maybe you can get lucky by soaking the cylinders with MMO or another type of oil. 6) Check to make sure that the injector pump is working. 7) If you are lucky enough to be able to crank it, don't crank for an extended period of time, or you may burn out the starter. I'd suggest cranking for about 15 to 20 seconds and then wait a minute to let the starter cool down. 8) Keep a fire extinguisher handy, better to have it and not need it than ....., I'd suggest at least one rated at 40BC Good luck ... hope this helps.

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
