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 1898, author Morgan Robertson wrote a novel called 'Futility', which described an "unsinkable" ship named the Titan that sank after hitting an iceberg. Fourteen years later, the Titanic sank in a strikingly similar fashion.
