[QUOTE="StLPro2A, post: 4062343, member: 48052"] Always first pull the injectors/spark plug(s) to check for hydraulic locked cylinder......water/fuel filled cylinder. Check if clutch is free/stuck to flywheel. Check that valves are not stuck open hitting piston. Pressure pre-oiling the engine.....yeah, new oil...... is always a good precaution. For example, on Chevy engines, pull distributor, use rod with end matching oil pump input shaft, driven by a drill motor til oil exits the rocker shafts. I made a oil pump drive from an old distributor, camshaft gear teeth removed, with drill chucked up top. Confirm correct rotation direction for oil pump. Not familiar with your specific tractor, but determine how the oil pump is driven and go from there. As others shared, transmission fluid in cylinders often frees stuck rings, but be sure you don't hydraulic lock the engine with the tranny fluid when you attempt to turn over.....always initial turn over with injectors/plugs out. Check fuel injectors for proper function, as an Injector stuck open can fill cylinder, hydraulic lock engine quickly. [/QUOTE]
