Another Project - H Engine Stuck

Evening All.

Havent posted in a while, since its been several months since I got a chance to get close to any of the Farmalls.

Got a chance this weekend, and was hoping to fire up my H and do a little mowing with my #5 around some of the fields.

I put the battery I had pulled last December or so out back in, and tried to turn it over. Click Click Click. I figured my battery was bad, so I grabbed the new one I bought at the same time, put it in. Click Click Click. I tried to turn the fan to see if it would spin. The fan would, but was slipping the belt on the crank pulley. Not good.

Tried to jump it with a 12v booster pack. Louder click. Nothing. I pulled the starter, and tried to pry some on the flywheel, no go. I pulled the plugs, and #3 looked pretty rusty, and had a few green spots on it. Also not good. Loosened up the drain plug, and got a few pints of water out. Very not good.

I purchased the tractor about a year and a half ago, and have been meaning to change out the coolant. Looks like I waited WAY too long. My thought is that over the winter something froze, and now I have water leaking through my #3 cylinder into the pan, and it rusted up that cylinder. (The cylinder isnt full of water)

I poured ATF in all four cylinders, and am letting it soak. Its not easy to move the tractor at all because it has the #5 on the back of it still. Im guessing I should jack it up and try to move the wheel to break it loose, but any other good ideas? She ran like a top when she was parked, and had a can over the exhaust, and was tarped, so I know its not rainwater.

Any other good ideas? I really didnt want to have to pull the head on this one if I could help it (already have two BN's that get that honor when I get a chance)

Thanks for letting me rant a little....it made for a disappointing weekend.
