That is a neat find, tricycle front end and loader. Re brakes, undo the springs and remove all bolts from the brake pan. Pry all around while trying to move the activating lever in the pan, when you have space enough, squirt penetrating oil into the area of the activating lever. This lever is set into the transmission case and ran on a brass collar. In old M's and H's the brass collar likely wore out and the metal surfaces have rusted together seizing the brake . I got one of an H one time where I had to use a large crow bar to get it out and a lot of pounding, it took the better part of the day. Once off you can clean the bore hole and clean up the end of the activating lever ,install new bushings and grease and you will be good to go. For seized engine, get the spark plugs out and get some penetrate into the cylinders, I'm thinking rain water has got into the exhaust . Jack one rear wheel of the tractor up off the ground,put the tranny in 5th gear and rock the rear wheel back and forth,it may break loose. If it persists you may be removing the head and doing a tear down, but examine everything before you do that. A seized engine stored in a dry place means the engine was tight and and will likely be ok once it is unseized. By your picture there is no muffler or cover over the exhaust so rain has likely got into the cyliners. It is a good looking unit and with some work you will have a nice loader tractor
