One should never pull a vehicle or tractor to break an unstuck engine. What you will do is cause all the rust and debris on the cylinder walls and rings to be cycled through a stroke, this can cause more damage to cylinder walls,sleeves, and rings. Rocking the rear wheels is a better method as the pistons will move slowly back and forth causing the pistons to only move a little each way and cleaning their path of up or down gradually. Oil squirted into the cylinder will lube the rust and debris and the likelihood of causing more damage is minimized. You also run the risk of damage to clutch,or breaking an axle by towing to break it free. I am a prponent of jacking up one side of the tractor, putting it in gear and rocking the wheel. My son in law didn't believe me but he unstuck a 33 Massey doing just what I told him to do. I wish you good luck Jim and it would be nice if it freed up without major surgery. I always believe if an engine stored properly inside becomes siezed the signs are the engine is good, tight and will unsieze and work....Mike in Exeter Ontario
