Gordo, Pull the spark plugs and leave the ignition off then try to crank it. It should spin easily. Pulling it is a good way to bend a rod if it is stuck. It may have massive fuel in the cylinders, be careful. Check the oil and be sure it is not diluted with fuel. Always shut off the fuel when stopping the tractor, even for ten minutes.

I learned the hard way about 20 years ago about shutting fuel off. Had a boat motor with six carbs on it. Left it for 6 mos with fuel off but had not run the carbs dry. All six were badly gummed up (Florida). Now anything I own, riding mower, generator, boat motor, 4 wheeler, motorcycle, snowblower,the fuel gets shut off while running and I run the carb dry. And they all get Stabil treated gas. Downside is once in awhiule you forget to go back and turn off the ignition. But a battery charge is a lot simpler than a carb clean out.(or six)
