I haven't had to unstick a tractor engine yet but I've seen enough posts on this board to give you a starting place.
Try removing the spark plugs and shoot some penetrating oil in each cylinder. I've found PB Blaster works as good or better than anything else I've tried.
leave the sparkplugs out and jack up one rear tire, put transmission in 5th gear and try rocking the wheel back and forth. Don't force things! If it doesn't break free add more oil and let it set for a week or so then try again.
when it does come free you should add a bit of regular engine oil to each cylinder and leaving the pulgs out crank it over several revolutions befor putting plugs back in and attempting to start engine.
if you can't get it to break loose this way you may need to pull the head!
