MF 205 industrial

I just acquired MF 205 with a loader and backhoe. It has been sitting for for a few years. I read on the forum that it can’t be pull started. The starter will not turn over the engine. I can’t find a good way to check if the Diesel engine is stuck. Any suggestions?
 
Can't think of anything simple without having to take anything apart. It might be easier to take the starter off and test it to make sure it works and go from there. I guess you could try turning it from the ring gear but you risk damaging it so that may not be the best advice.
 
Thanks for the response. I just read that there is a neutral safety switch that will disable the starter. I’ll first try jumping around the solenoid and see what happens. Hopefully it will something simple.
 
Update: Pulled the starter and it checked out okay on the bench. Put a bar on the ring gear and the engine won?t budge. Looks like a part out.
