Remove the manifold and the tappet covers and then pour in a lot of Marvel Mystery oil into the spark plugs holes and squirt some on top of all the valve stem bushings. Let it sit for a couple of days and then turn the engine over by hand with the fan till the lifters are down on one of the cylinders. using a big screw driver or bar of some sort pry the valves on that cylinder down by prying on the valve spring retainers on the bottom of the valves. Don't bend the valves. Pull straight down.
Turn the engine over till the next cylinder in the firing order comes up and then do the same to it. Usually you can get then to start moveing and they will eventually come down on their when they get freed up.
When all the valves will come down when the engine is turned over with the starter you will be ready to put the manifold and tappet covers back on and try to start it. It would be good if you have another tractor to pull it with till you get it started the first time to save the starter.
It may be hard to start till it has run for a few minutes because the valve seats may have some rust on their surfaces but if you can get it to run it will quickly smooth out the valve surfaces.
