not sure what kind of locking nut is on there? that red thingy you mentioned?? but if it's just the nut your trying to get off put it in gear and hold the flywheel..... jamb a prybar against somethin solid. like the block and flywheel teeth or the strap wrench? and give it a good jerk on the nut.
lefty loosy, righty tighty.
i bet an impact gun would zing it right off..

Impact gun
If you don't have one, carry the motor (if it's only a 9.8 hp ) to a local garage nearby and have them use a gun on it !
