If they try and screw you out of your warranty for replacing the starter, there's something wrong. Saying that, if the starter damages something like the ring gear I can seem them denying that. As I said, I would have lost faith in the dealer by now but there's nothing you can do now after the fact so you're going to have to deal with it.
I suppose another dealer is out of the question?

Next one is 1.5 hours away. If this doesnt work I will give them a ring.

Not sure where you are located but maybe getting your area Branson rep involved is not a bad idea. For us it use to be a great guy who said he would approve the parts if I needed them and wanted to install.
Not sure who is now as I know he is no longer working for Branson.

To eliminate hydrolock from the equation you can put a breaker bar and socket on crank pulley and make sure engine turns over evenly by hand.

Why try to work on a tractor that new and under warranty? Call the dealer and tell them to fix it.

The original posted stated that it would be over $450 for transport , unless the OP negotiated transport or on site repairs, he's stuck. As long as he's capable and willing to do the repairs, I would have done the same thing as he's doing.........Mike
Update. I am 95% positive it is the starter. One issue is what ever person designed this engine should be shot. The hydraulic pump is in the way of completely removing the starter. I did pull it 3/4 the way and connected alligator clips to the terminals with 12v. It would do the same thing, click once. I could turn the shaft freely. Dealer still hasnt called me back and I can't get ahold of anyone for the quote for the starter. Starting to get PO.
