Dan, I have had good luck freeing up stuck tractor motors by booming the tractor down on my flatbed trailer. Then removing the oil pan, take a little bottle jack cribbed up off the floor of the trailer to one of the counter balances on the crank shaft. Jack it up slowly till its tight. I have had some come loose at this stage, Some I had to tap on the counter balances that's not being jacked on with a bfh. One tractor was so stuck that I removed the the rod caps on the rods that the pressure was pushing down against so the pressure was put to the rod and not the rod cap. It came loose too but required the extra steps. If you don't boom it down it will just lift the front of the tractor off the ground. Make sure your valves are not stuck before you try this or you will bent a push rod for sure. Good luck!
