That's the first thing I did. It turned easily and I could hear blowby, which didn't make sense if the piston wasn't moving, but I wasn't looking at the piston! I was looking at the exhaust valve!
It appears to be missing a spring, washer and nut off the front of the PTO brake assy, and the screw that goes thru the spring was getting jammed between the brake clutch plates causing the brake to bang against the actuator arm.....at least that's what I hope was happening!
