Not to worry, that just means the motors locked up, a new motor and you'll be golden!!!! "Just kidding", a starter should do it.

Yeah, a weak battery will do it as well.

Took the battery to the local AutoZone - it checked out fine - we were both surprised! There WAS however a lot of corrosion - so I cleaned everything real well with baking powder & then wire brushed it, added delectric grease & put it back together and POW, it fired right up! Guess Fords really DO need more power to run - I've had Chevys that the clamps barely touched the bat & they started! Oh well!

THanks for the help!
