Hey Everyone first time poster. I recently bought my first ford tractor. I believe it is a 1964 model. I bought it off a guy for next to nothing knowing that it had not ran in 10+ years. engine and all fluids looked good and seemed like it would require little effort to have it up and running. Once I got it dragged out and home to my shop and started going through everything before I tried to turn it over I found that the engine is seized, I can not get any movement from the crank. I do not believe it is in the engine but rather the select-O-speed transmission. It is apparently locked in a gear, unknown what gear, I was told buy the guy i bought the tractor from that it can only be shifted while the engine is running. I am not familiar with these transmissions at all and any help would be greatly appreciated to help me try to figure out what could be locked up. I have novice experience with tractors. but turn wrenches on cars and trucks regularly basis.
