As JohnDeereJim & Oldtanker said--first step is to see if the engines are locked up. Can't remeber if a 560 has a hand crank, but if not, jack up a rear wheel, put it in high gear and try to see if you can turn the engine a little.If not, I would pull the valve covers and be sure the valves are all free. If you don't you risk bending a pushrod or breaking a rocker arm. Rocking a rear wheel doesn't put the same kind of strain on the engine so you don't risk bending connecting rods, etc. like pulling it could do. If they have been inside there's a good chance they wont be stuck. If not stuck, then putting new fuel filters and bleeding the diesel may bring it to life. The gasser will almost certainly need the carb cleaned and rebuilt, and most likely the tank will need to be cleaned too. If they have been outside and exhausts not covered they will almost certainly be stuck, and the best and cheapest way to unstick an engine is to disassemble it. I know old won't agree, but that's been my experience. Gaskets are cheaper than parts, so limit how much force you put on it trying to get it to move. If it has been outside the transmission likely will have water in it. Crack a drain plug and let the water drain out. If you only get a little, it probably has done no damage. If you get enough that gears could have been immersed in water you should take a look at them before doing anything else. Good luck with them--should make a fun project for you and a wonderful learning excperience. Remember there's lots of guys on here that can help you more than I can.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
