The Super M did just fine tonight, pressed into service pulling the little
trailer while I cut and hauled more overhanging branches and little trees
from the sides of the farm lane.   Fired right up every time without
hesitation.    One day isn't much of a trend but it was nice to have the
starter and ring gear behave.   If I have more trouble with it locking up
I'll give Cecil's suggestion about a Dremel tool a try.

By the way, if anybody is considering planting a mess of osage orange trees,
I advise restraint.  :)

The Farmall H on my dad's farm would do the starter lock up thing from time
to time.  Rocking in fifth usually cured it but if you were in ground that
was a little softer that was a two or three man task.  Then the wrench came
out and loosened the starter bolts as Keith has already described.  Not a
consistent enough problem to fix it over the 20 or so years we owned it.

Once in a while our Farmall H will get the starter stuck.  Seems like the
teeth on the starter and the teeth on the ring gear get out of mesh and will
have the teeth on top of one another.  At least that's what I think is
happening.  The engine will  be locked up tighter than a drum.  I'll get a
wrench out and loosen the bolts holding the starter on.  After a few turns
I'll hear a fairly loud "pop" and everything will be right with the world
again. 
I'll tighten the bolts and be off and running.
