Went to fire up my Case LA. Starter made a bad sound. Pulled starter - pinion housing/starter nose and a couple of drive teeth had broken off. Got starter nose out. Checked to see if motor would turn over by hand - would not move either way. Checked for water in cylinders and oil - none found. Tractor will roll with clutch disengaged but motor will not turn. Any suggestions.
Thanks

presume you mean engaged engine wont turn. if the wheels are skidding you have a stuck engine.
 
I would suggest also after it soaks a bit to try to bar the engine over at the flywheel
while the starter is off. We have had better luck with that than at the starter crank.
 
uncovered exhaust! THe death of many engines. I think one of the reason so many Ford and Massey tractors are still around is because of the down flow exhaust.
 
It maybe uncovered exhaust and stuck pistons, BUT check that it is not the valves stuck. Letter series Cases are prone to valve gear sticking if not used for some time. It is fairly easy to free the valve gear.
 
Could still be starter/flywheel pieces still in the clutch housing causing the problem instead of an actual internal engine problem.
