My favorite Cockshutt 30 had an issue I didn't know what to do with in late fall of 2006. Was a carb issue. Tractor got shedded and has been inside since then, but yesterday I wanted to move her a little bit by cranking it with it in gear, only to find the engine is stuck. I'm thinking this shouldn't be stuck all that bad, it being not even 2 years and inside a shed, but nevertheless I couldn't turn the crank on the front.
I learned with another cockshutt that you don't force the crank on these or you'll ruin the goofy hook-nut on the crankshaft, they're made of softer stuff than on the old F-20 I unstuck last (I could stand on the crank and jump to force miniscule engine movement.)
