Can anyone tell me what I'm looking at? This is the front end of a Ford 881D that has a seized engine. I'm trying to bar her over. At first I was placing a large wrench over an odd shaped piece of steel bolted over the pulley. The inside of this piece clearly is the female receiver for a hand crank of some sort.

After pulling on this for several days I didn't like that it was doing some damage, so I decided to just remove it - hoping to find the legendary "pulley nut". Well there's a 15/16th nut for sure, but is this the pulley nut?

if I crank to the left it comes off - and with an easy tug so does the pulley it holds in place (gunked in with white silicone mind you). This exposes the front end of the crankshaft that has a 16 tooth or so splined end. I really don't like the feel when I try to bar her over by tightening this nut down on the pulley. What am I doing wrong here? Should I be baring over using the piece attached to the pulley?

:confused:
