Situations like this are where I really appreciate a tractor with a belt
pulley like these old Cockshutts have. On the odd occasion that the starter
does lock up against the ring gear I simply engage the belt pulley and give
it just the slightest turn . Thats usually enough to release the starter and
try again.
