You may need to use the starter to get the cylinders coated with oil then see if you can turn it by hand. Does it show any oil pressure when using the starter to crank it? You can reinstall the plugs and see if it will crank with the plugs installed. If it won't, I think you will need to pull the head. Before you do that put another help question on the Farmall forum. It may be less work to pull the pan and check your oil pan for metal particles. You could have some bearing issues. If you do find metal particles I would pull one bearing cap at at a time and inspect it. Reinstall and retorque it if looks ok.

They're hard to turn when everything is new, but you should still be able to turn it by hand. Hal
