Your tractor would be close to a 1953 give or take a couple years. Super series were only made for a short period of years in the early to mid 50's just ahead of the number series. If the engine is seized it was more than likely caused by a leaky head gasket or water getting in from an uncovered exhaust. Depending on how bad it is froze up you might get it loosened up by squirting a bunch of (I use automatic transmission fluid) in the spark plug holes and letting it soak for a pretty good span of time (3 or 4 weeks). Then you might get it loosened up using the cranke or jacking one wheel up and rocking wheel back and forth with the tractor in gear. If it is froze real good then you might have to take head off and see how bad it really is. That would be a good idea anyway becuase if it was froze for along time the sleeves are probably rust pitted.
