Don't be afraid. Use the snatch block so you can really get some pull on it.
If all else fails you do have those hay burners to use instead of the tractor.

Stuck Motor? If it's that bad, remove the push rods and get the pistons loose first, then check if valves are stuck.

I dont have much pressure on it. Figured I would see if it loosens up after a day or two. I have to many others tore apart. If it doesn't free up easy it will go on the side burner.

Probably wasting your time, I have never had much faith in the fact that keeping constant pressure on
something helps it come free. I would really like some scientific basis that would prove the theory. To each his
own. The post is not all for nothing, at least you will get to raise some eyebrows here. To bad old is not around,
he?d be asking you if you have already applied copious amounts of ATF to it. Not saying that is a bunk practice
either.

I have my doubts that it will come loose but it's not going to hurt either. It's going to sit one way or another. After it sat an hour the comalong loosened up a bit but lots of things could've caused that.

Nah, that it ain't it. At least pull valve
cover and check for stuck valves.

Ive seen worse...

Ive use ATF or brake fluid with mixed results.. The last one I did kept eating ATF that was finding its home in the oil pan and the coolant passages, upon closer inspection it had a cracked sleeve from being froze.
