I know you're eager, we've all been there, but you need to find your inner Mechanic Zen. OK, pull up a yoga matt and now BREATH with me. In. Out. Ommmmmmmmmmmm.
OK, now that you've got your Zen on, slow down!!! If you have a stuck engine, TIME is your friend. Pull the plugs, lube the cylinders with ATF or Deep Creep and WAIT. Give it a few days or a week.
Then start gently working on "rocking" the motor back and forth. YOU absolutely want to unstick the motor in the least invasive way possible. Get a bar on it and slowly work on getting it loose.
Be gentle and take your time. This is part of being a good mechanic. Don't go tearing into what may not be broken. As I said in your last thread, there will be PLENTY to do on an old tractor without getting in over your head with a full on overhaul.
Also, here's a warning about YouTube. Just because some generic mechanic puts a video out there, it doesn't' mean they know what they are doing. There's a lot of stuff out there that is plain old wrong. Problem is you only find out this after trying to do it the way they did it.

Let�s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
