When an engine is siezed the first step is to eliminate the moisture that is getting into the engine since this is the the major corporate that siezes most engines that are froze up. Usually this moisture comes from uncovered exhaust or a leaking cooling system such as bad head gasket. Simply draining coolant and covering exhaust up should keep moisture out. Then step two is to take spark plugs out and squirt something in there to start the soaking process. The boys in here are really bragging up PB blaster. I have never used it but I had good luck with automatic transmission fluid. It is really a personal preference thing as to what fluid to use. Let it soak for say a week and then try to crank or rock the rear wheel while jacked and in high gear. If engine is lightly siezed this may very well break it lose. If it is much more than lightly siezed this more than likely isn't going to break it lose and even if it did you are not going to be able to see damage to enternal engine parts such as pitted sleeves or broken rings. If it doesn't pop right lose after a couple weeks of trying to I would go ahead and tear the engine down. You probably will have to to get it broke lose and enternal damage will probably need to be investigated. You will not be able to do this sufficiently with head on tractor. And it may have been a leaky head gasket that started the whole problem anyway. I hope it pops loose for you and keep us posted if you need additional help.
