Brian, I just thought of something as I was reading the posts. I know how stupid this sounds, but its an honest-to-goodness story. My uncle was driving my Grandpa's M doing field work probably 20 years ago, he said she let out a squeal and stopped dead in her tracks, kinda like you said your 450 did. The old M wouldn't run or turn over or anything. It had been using a tremendous amount of oil, so they just figured something in the engine let loose and she tied up. It got pulled to the house were it sat for next 15 years. We decided to get the old girl up and running one winter, so we dropped the pan, removed the head and pushed all 4 pistons out the top with a hammer handle. ?????? we're thinking now. So we put a new battery in it and tried to crank it over. No luck. Hooked it to the 756, drug it around trying to free up the crank, no luck. We were standing around, looking at engine, scracthing our heads, when my uncle took out his pocket knife and cut the old ratty dried out water pump belt off. Guess what? The crank spun around now. The water pump was so packed full of crud that the old wore out M couldn't turn it over. Tractor needed OH anyway.
