You do not need to access the flywheel to do this. You do not need to even bend over...better for us old guys. Just put it in neutral, ignition OFF!, and grab the fan blade with one hand, and push inward on the fan belt with the other, now turn the fan blade. The engine will turn. If it seems to be "locked up", then it is proof of the bad starter/bendix idea. If you reverse the direction of the fan turning you just did, it will push the starter bendix back out. This has been a frequent problem with my 300U, but I never had it happen with the 340U.
I suspect that the end bushing on the starter shaft is worn, the bendix teeth worn, and the ring gear teeth are also worn. Some day I will split it and fix the problems.
Another way to free it up is to put the tranny in 5th gear, ignition OFF, and rock the tractor back and forth. If you listen carefully, you can hear the bendix pop out of the ring gear.
