Thank's for the responce so far guy's. I guess I should have offered more detail's about the problem in my original posting but better late than never right? Anyway? Firstly the tractor is a 41 Jd A flywheel hand start, no electric start, and the crankcase and cylinders both had been lubed up before storing this machine for the winter.
Drained the diesel out of the crankcase brfore attempting to fire her up this spring time, and after removing the cover on top of the cc it was possible to see that the cc definately isn't rusty and neither are the con rods or rocker arm's/valves etc.... Had sprayed a generous amount of wd40 into the plug holes as well as topping them off with trans fluid and penetrating oil when parking her? And have tried cranking the flywheel with a long piece of 1" steel pipe and a chain without any luck so far.
It seem's to me that with the plugs out and the decompression valves open, this engine should spin quite freely with a setup like this, but no ,not this one! Hasn't budged one bit yet after week's of allowing the brew in cylinders to do it's work, and I'm about to give up? How could this thing still be so seised that it still doesn't give one inch but the clutch is not ?
