Just another thing to check,
If your carburetor float is gummed up from sitting or improperly adjusted, It may be letting so much fuel into the cylinders that they 'fill up' preventing the piston to move toward TDC any further on a compression stroke.
I doubt it would be from lack of lubrication, as with the slow cranking speeds from starters or Hand cranking would not be enough to sieze a motor. It would not be the clutch unless your tractor was in gear. but possibly a cracked block from improperly draining the water or weak antifreeze, or rusted cylinder from moisture.

Good luck,
Russ
