I have real good luck with pure carburator dunk. That stuff will eat through anything.

A lot depends on what kind of engine you are trying to unstick. Does the tractor have a block heater? If it does plug it in for a couple hours the heat will allow the block to expand and maybe the pistons will come loose. If it is an inline engine pull the pan and unhook all of the rods that are accessible and find the ones that are stuck. On a 6-cylinder case often times it is the center two because of the exhaust design. Get a little slop in the bearing and put the tractor in high gear and rock the tractor back and forth. There are many ways to unstick them some are for the impatient and other are for the very, very patient.
For the impatient the above method and a block of wood and a Big Hammer. For the patient,
Coke,grease gun, CLR, vinegar, MM oil, PB blaster, brake fluid, water(have heard but never tried)there are many things out there and many work but you just have to be patient.

If there stuck hard enough that they wont come loose with there remidys get the head off clean the top of all of the pistons, get your torch out and heat each piston at the rings(outward side of piston)two or three times, let each cool off between heatings,then use free-it, mistory oil etc, let it sit a hour or two and start rocking the crank back and forth until free.

pull the head and fill the cylinder with marvel mystery oil. wait at least 7 days and try to break it loose. if it still wont move youll have to knock the piston out and clean it with some fine emery cloth , and polish it with crocus cloth. this is a lot easier if your block has liners in it. usually, the piston will push the liner out. this will take a while, usually about 2-3 weeks, but its still a relativaley low cost way to fix.also, plan on installing new rings, at least in the one cylinder. and don"t feel bad, im doing the same thing to a massey harris 44.tractor pulling on a budget. :)

I had a Allis B that was stuck and used PB Blaster to get her free. That stuff works pretty good. I'v also used MM oil to break parts free. Andrew
