My favorite Cockshutt 30 had an issue I didn't know what to do with in late fall of 2006. Was a carb issue. Tractor got shedded and has been inside since then, but yesterday I wanted to move her a little bit by cranking it with it in gear, only to find the engine is stuck. I'm thinking this shouldn't be stuck all that bad, it being not even 2 years and inside a shed, but nevertheless I couldn't turn the crank on the front.
I learned with another cockshutt that you don't force the crank on these or you'll ruin the goofy hook-nut on the crankshaft, they're made of softer stuff than on the old F-20 I unstuck last (I could stand on the crank and jump to force miniscule engine movement.)
So. Here I have a stuck Cockshutt 30. I get that it needs to soak with some sort of penetrating oil (I vote diesel fuel) but how else can I attempt to turn it? If it's stuck I think I'd only ruin a starter trying to turn it that way. Thanks!

Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
