Got it home this evening and got in there and disconnected the loader pump from the front of the crank.
Put a bar on the ring gear and it won't move.
I'd say the engine seized up.
I talked to the seller's brother - he lives where the tractor was - and he heard it quit from inside the house. He said it sat there idling for about 20 minutes then sounded like it started laboring like it was running out of fuel. Then it just quit.
Odd that it would sit at idle and seize up. But stranger things have happened I guess.
It always seems kinda cruel to knock one over the head but this point it's a parts tractor.
Thanks to all for the help deciphering things on this.
