You'll have to remove the injectors.
HOPEFULLY there's no bent rods or damaged
pistons, etc.. Did you determine if it
has a crankcase ventilation pump?

It does have the crankcase pump
My dad bought new
I don t think it was disabled
Is there a easy way to check
And should I disable it

Well any oil that hasnt made it to the middle of the piston
bowl should leak out past the rings and back down the liner
walls if you wait a week assuming the rest of the tractor is as
cold as air cleaner...if it stopped while running and hot I
wouldnt bet on everything else being ok

I would suggest to maybe try getting a 3 ft or so long bar. Hopefully the front pump drive is in the right position to where you can get the bar in there to turn the engine. Hang a 5 gallon bucket of water on the bar clamp the bucket handle with a vise grip so it does not slide down. Hopefully the constant pressure over time will force the oil by the rings and allow the engine to turn. However, if the tractor is outside in the cold I am not sure how successful this will be. If it has a block heater keeping that plugged in may help.
