    Sawmill engine buzzing but don't start

    Went to sawmill today, checked contactors and looks like 2 of them missing 1 connection when testing continuity. Pulled them off and after inspection found that 1 contact inside is broken (looks like melted and broken). Didn't inspect the other 2 but will do that soon :)

Sawmill is 30km from where I live, so I want to get there knowing what to check. I found a video in youtube...

Engine uses 3 phases and all of it coming to the main fuses. Saw is rotating easily with hand so it's not jammed. I am not an expert in motors...
