went and checked everything over, 24 volt on the sticker and instead of taking a chance on the current cables i sat the batteries on the tracks and ran 3' 0gauge leads into the engine compartment with a clean ground right on the block and a heavy push button with clips to jump it. since i have the deck plates out i reached in with a piece of heavy pipe and got the clutch disengaged since the cable is gone. went and bumped the starter and no go. so I started to take the injectors out and it started raining so i called it quits and will start in to it again tomorrow. keeping my fingers crossed on it just being hydrolocked. but then again even if its seized at least i dont have o monkey with the hydrostatic system. gonna price an overhaul kit and call the machine shop to see how much they are gonna gouge me for polishing the crank if it isn't too badly trashed. if it is i will price a crank used and new. thanks so far, will update on how pulling the injectors works out.
