: I shut down my Farmall H at the start of the winter. I went out to the tractor, charged the battery and tried to start it. This year it didn't. Apparently a piston(s) is frozen in the sleeve. I even tried rolling it and letting the clutch out in 5th gear...just dragged the tires. I have taken the head off to take a peek. I do see some rust in #3 and #2, but nothing I would call piston siezing material. What next? I need to bush hog my field before safaris start to appear!
Take the starter off and try to pry the flywheel teeth and see if it will turn. The bendix could have been jammed somehow.
