Tom if it was working okay when parked the only thing I can think of is rust. Hard to believe rust would stick the differential that bad. But you live in a climate that can do it sometimes. Even if in a open shed at certain times the weather is right for metal sweating. Water will drip from the housings. That said usually if rusted that bad the shift forks will also rust and stick and the sliding gears won't want to move on the main shaft.
Would try Pete's suggestion first. Take the brakes off then the plate inside shoe contacts. Then pull the bull pinion gears out. They go in the differential. Can't see the backs of the differential pinions or where they turn on the cross. But shine a light in the splines and look for metal shavings or rust. If it looks rusty you mite try leaving one bull pinion out and drive the tractor around. Maybe the vibration and oil slinging up on the differential would break things lose. Try to find a plastic lid or something to stick the removed pinion hole if doing. be carful with just the one brake. Also the tractor will stop moving if it breaks loose and gears won't hold the tractor.
If its not rusted the other posters already said what's needed.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
