Boy am I relieved. Now I'm pass the first big hurdle. Yesterday I tried to turn the fan blades and see if the pulley would turn. No such luck. So I jacked up the clutch side rear wheel and tried the rocking method with the gear lever in 1st. No luck. So I loaded the cylinders with PB Blaster and let it sit all night. Spark plugs still looked good showing no rust so I felt that rings can't be too stuck. This morning I went out and jacked up the clutch side rear wheel. I thought I was getting more wiggle than yesterday and I thought I saw the fan blade have a slight jiggle. So I kicked it out of gear and tried to turn the fan blades and see if the pulley would turn with it. Sure enough it budged. So I pulled the spark plugs and started turning it over via the fan blades. Just like on the combine engine, the first couple of full turns were real hard. Then it started loosening up pretty quickly. Next step will be to change the oil and filter. I will also pull off the valve cover and make sure everything is working properly. Then I will have my neighbor tow me around the 1/2 mile block so I can get some fresh lubrication to the engine. After that I will start prepping it for first start.
