found the problem.
The coil in the pto was came apart and partially melted together. That's what froze the crank up. Looks like i need a new one. Am going to look into the wiring issue again. Could it be possible to wire it wrong to get it trying to go the wrong way? Just a thought. Don't know the history of this machine. Maybe it was giving the guy trouble and he didnt tell me. Chance you take with craigslist.
