Since this thread is about non-military wheels and tires I'll throw this out there. If any of you are on a budget or have a knack for finding things for a good price this may work for you. The silver wheel pictured is a 2003-2013 Dodge 2500 17" factory wheel. I gave a $100 for all four. I am...
Besides the advice on the starter above I don't see what it would hurt to put a breaker bar on the crankshaft damper bolt and see what happens. I play with old tractors a lot and if you can get it moving by hand normally you should be good to go.
