Hey i bought a 1970ish ACME AL290B two wheel tractor. But when i got it Home it would not start I knew it would not but when i opened the cylinder i realised the piston did not move when i was pulling the starter. I am Guessing it is a cranc or crancshaft problem, but does anyone know how to get the cylinder off? And does anyone maybe know what is wrong or how it may have happened. It is an ACME 8HP engine on.
