I'd pull the plugs, squirt MMO in each cylinder and reinstall the plugs. Then let it sit for a week or more.

When you pull the plugs you may find the offending cylinder by a very rusty plug. You can often tell from the condition of the plugs if you should go ahead and disassemble the engine. A little rust on the plugs is OK but totally plugged with rust indicates it will never run without being repaired.

Then put it in 5th gear and try rocking it. If that does not free it up, more MMO and PB Blaster, sit another week.

If rocking does not free it up, I'd drag it and repeatedly engage and disengage the clutch. Tear up a little dirt. Both forward and backward. I've freed up many this way.

If it is still stuck, bite the bullet and pull the head to see what you've got.

Stay away from pipe wrench on the PTO or harmonic balancer, pry bars on the ring gear, and pumping grease into the cylinders under pressure and you will not cause damage to good parts.
