Thanks to this forum and, in particular 'timflurry' and 'Burntime', I was able to get my lawn tractor going again. As the two of you suggested, I put WD-40 and penetrating oil in the cylinder and slowly started working the crank to loosen things up. It took a week or so but, I put the engine back in the tractor, connected everything back up and it fired up at the first turn of the key. I ran it around for 15-20 minutes at low rpm and it seems to be running fine. Thanks again to all who responded.

You're very welcome Jim. We're here to save the membership $$ that might not need to be spent. Glad your stuck engine is back to life. Most of the time, people that rush to free a stuck engine usually break a piston ring.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
