jd630

i have jd 630 that i was putting rim & tire on . I worked on it one day and got half the wheel lugs on it. I would put one on at a time and then turn the wheel alittle in order to get the weight off the spot for the next lug, the next day I decided to try to start the tractor to run some extra antifreeze throught it that I just added, it wouldn't start felt like it was stuck, so I decided to finish the wheel lugs and then I would try to pull start it,however when I took it out of 5th gear because after turning the wheel alittle to put on the next lug I would put it in gear so it wouldn't turn while I put in the lug. it felt like it came out of gear fine but the wheel won't turn as if it is stuvk in gear. Any thoughts and if is stuck in geqr whats easiest way to get at it to unstick it, It was warm the day I tried this so I don't think it is from cold weathe ror moisture built up freezing,

Does the clutch work good, it's not sticking or anything?

how's the gear shift? does it go in all the gears?

Did you lock the brakes?

Make sure the brake isn`t stuck on. Sometimes those pedals don`t return.

I would be really careful about pull starting it if it feels like the engine is siezed.

I have a 730 gas, a couple of years ago it wouldn`t turn over. Had been fine the day before. I pulled the flywheel cover to see if I could move the flywheel by hand. I could just a little bit. I checked to make sure the starter was engaging and that I had a good charge on the battery. Dad came out and was bound and determined to pull start it, but something wasn`t right. He actually had the chain and another tractor hooked to it. I got the idea to pull the plugs and try to turn it over, BINGO.
The low oil shut off on the carb had stuck open and gas had hydro locked the cylinder. So I spun her over with the plugs out for some time and blew air into the cylinder. I put the plugs in and she fired right up, after shooting flames about 10 ft in the air. I had the carb rebuilt, took care of the problem, but I bacame a believer in shutting the gas off at the tank anyway.

To make a short story long, I would`ve had big problems had we tried to pull start the old girl...

If the shift lever feels loose, like it will flop around into any gear without resistance, it could`ve popped out of the detent on the shift rail. Then you gotta line it back up with 5th gear and give it a good whack. You should feel it catch the fork and off you go.
Good luck BW

doesn't feel like the clutch is sticking , does go in all gears fairly eqasy although in couple of them it feels alittle tight .
Thank you guys for your help
