Hi Abe, What's the status of your H now? Have you started the engine teardown? Hal

Hi Abe, What is the status of your tractor? Are you sure the valve timing is ok? Are all
cylinders low on compresion? Tap each valve stem
lightly to be sure they're seated. You can probably move them with the wooden handle from a
ball peen hammer. Don't hit them with any metal object. Keep squirting oil into the cylinders for awhile, you may get lucky if some of the rings
loosen up. If you ever get it started the other rings may free up if you could get the engine hot.
Good Luck, Hal

Hi Abe, Remove the valve cover and watch the rocker arms as the engine rotates, each valve should move freely.

Rotate engine to No1 firing position
with rotor at No1 plug wire, using a feeler gauge
check valve clearances. They should have clearance of at least .017". This is the hot setting recommended by IH. You should have a clearance greater than this by several thousands on each valve. If No1 valves are ok, rotate the
engine to No3, the rotor should be at No3, check
valve clearances and adjust if necessary, then do
No4 and then No2. Both valves are in the closed
position and you should have clearances.

Make sure you're on the compression stroke on No1 cylinder when starting this procedure. If the clearances are ok, you're probably looking at an engine rebuild. Hal

Hi Abe, I think the piston rings are stuck in the piston grooves do to carbon or varnish buildup
or both. You could rotate the engine until it is No1 firing position with the rotor pointing to No1
plug in the distributor. Then apply air pressure
to No1 cylinder to see if it will hold air pressure. If it doesn't, either the rings are stuck or the valves aren't seating which will require an engine overhaul. I don't think pulling will help. Good Luck, Hal
