Can't get started

Water in the oil is not good news.  After new coolant and new oil, watch VERY carefully to see if your new oil gets water in it.

Had this problem in an old tractor a couple years back.   Drained and replaced the oil, hoping it was just condensate after not being used for awhile.  In the next hour of operation, the engine seized up.  I scrapped the old beast and bought another tractor, as the repair parts, not to mention the labor, would cost more than another used tractor.  So far, the "new" one is running well.

Hope this doesn't happen to  your engine.

Any chance that when the water in the engine froze, it did something to the pulse generator? I currently have no spark right now at any plugs, but had spark prior to it freezing. Any thoughts?

I don't see how they could  be connected, but as you know, most coincidences... aren't!
