Need advice! Starter won't turn over engine!

Tallent R · 2015-06-20T18:53:46Z

I'm having trouble and wondered if anyone could offer advice? I have a 1937 Terraplane. Everything worked fine until this afternoon. I pushed the starter and idiot lights dimmed but starter did not turn over engine. I cleaned the cable clamp and replaced. Still nothing. Replaced cable with a #2 (Tractor Supply was out of #0 and #1). Still nothing. Got the hand crank out. This always starts mein a pinch. The crank would not even turn. Something is jammed up in the engine. Yet the car is out of gear. Never had this happen in 40 years. One other strange thing: Isn't the starter drive supposed to turn freely? Mine is locked up tight. Any ideas?
