Stuck

I acquired this forklift not running. When I engage the starter, it turns slowly about one revolution and then just stops. Removed plugs, replaced battery cables. Starter get real hot fast. Engine is real clean inside. Could the trans be holding it up. I have no experience with forklifts. According to last owner, it ran about 3 weeks ago, and when he went to start it, nothing. Any ideas, help, greatly appreciated. Oh, no indication motor would be seized up, as it will move some.

Starter checked out good. Pulling motor out. I think it has spun bearings.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
