what to do to move it? winch, tow tractor, rollback tow truck come to mind. Also a old "get it out of the shed" trick is to do a splash lube- meaning you drain old oil, check capacities of pan and location on crankshaft, fill to level of the crankshaft lower bearing cap with 10 weight non detergent oil and see if starts- the rod bearings will be in oil as the engine turns and if it starts the oil will be "splashed" to camshaft, cylinder walls, into main bearings and up to head/valve cover area. You just need enough oil to cover bottom half of rod bearing at bottom of stroke and lots of oil flying around inside means leave off the cap on valve cover and cover hole with a rag to reduce the spurting. This is a emergency use only method--but it should be noted that prior to WW2 the olc IHC and others used this basic method of heavy oil vapor/splash to lubricate engines and it was the basic small engine method for many years after WW2- and the Chevy 6 car engine didn"t get oil pump until about 1949(?), used splash method. Rod end caps had dippers and splash trays in the oil pan at times- but in emergencies this would work. Ford had a owner manual note for late flatheads and the early OHV that if oil pump broke add 2 more quarts of oil and drive at no more than very fast triple idle speed idle-say 1200/1500 rpm to get to shop.

The difficulty with all those "theory of operation" texts is that they border on principles of electricity or physics and such. Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
