I recommend the 3 P’s 1. Penetrating oil ( I like brand name S OK however WD 40 will work) 2. Pressure 3. Patience (24 hours) Remove the spark plugs and pour in as much penetrating oil as you can. Mystery Oil is also very good.
Put the tractor in first gear and rock the tractor back and forth just a little to cause the engine to try and move. Try and apply some constant pressure against the engine. On jeeps I have done this with hanging a weight off of the end of pipe secured to the fan belt pulley by vice grips. On a tractor, hanging something like a 55 gallon barrel to the rear of the tractor tire about 3 feet off the ground. Then filling it with water. This weight would normally cause the tractor to roll backwards. AND the transmission will apply pressure to the motor. Set this up and allow it to work for you for a day or two. Leave the spark plugs out and refill the plug holes a couple of times a day. I would also push against the tractor each time. I bet it will become unstuck.
