Is the engines top screen able to come off? If so there should be a bolt you can attach a socket to, take a wood drill bit and bang it into the socket, then attach the drill and turn it over. Also take the spark plug out. If it's frozen, PB blaster, WD40 penetrant or magic oil. Your choice. Then blow the lubricant out by turning it over. This is the only way to bypass a starter that I can think of
Where would you start? Simplicity 3310 V
I rescued this poor thing from an overgrown pasture. I know nothing about it. It was missing the starter/generator unit. I was able to acquire one from a fella who worked on all sort of simplicity equipment and had one on the shelf although one of the three terminals is partially broken off. I forget the size of the motor thinking it's a 10 horse briggs. The Steering wheel is broken off assuming the steering gear is frozen or really tight.No deck or other attachments although there is several and is why I decided to save this one but now I am unsure what I have taken on. I don't want to throw a bunch of money into this thing, I guess i need figure out where to start, no real easy way to try and turn the motor over by hand.

If only 1000 were made then I wouldn't be scared to put a starter, and some money into it, do they still make new starters? I wouldn't reccomend buying a used starter. Would look awesome restored
