Like Martin said "patience, patience, patience". I pour in auto tranny fluid and diesel fuel. Let it set 2-3 days. Keep pouring in every day. Pull the starter off or stick a screwdriver or prybar through a hole in the flywheel cover and rock the engine with the screwdriver. Keep trying to turn the engine both directions. You have better control and more pressure with the screwdriver or prybar than you do with the wheel turning or starter or pulling the tractor, and also with the screwdriver you can rock the engine back and forth once it breaks loose just a little without breaking a ring or warping a valve.
