I have a 1959 Case 210B that occasionally the engine will turn over and start like it's suppose to. I did it this morning three times and the fourth time the engine wouldn't turn over. Temperature doesn't seem
to affect it either. One morning it started easily at 20 degrees. The majority of the time the engine won't even make one revolution before it stops. I've changed the battery. I also had the starter
professionally overhauled but it still drags. It's also made to where at one time you could use a hand crank and I tried to rotate it once with a big crescent wrench and had to slide a piece of pipe over the
handle to get the engine to rotate. If it did it all the time I could understand the engine being seized up but for it to do it on occasion I don't understand. Any ideas.
