At this point, I am unclear on just what the situation is. It has gone from running to turns but won't start to won't turn. Something had to go wrong at each of those changes. Either or both might be fairly simple. But I am afraid it will take another pair of eyes rather than another pair of ears to spot the problems.
Who was helping you when you tried to pull start it? Is your father available to help? It sounds lkike he is more familiar with operating it than you are. If not him, is there somebody nearby with some tractor experience?
I don't understand why it won't at least turn over when you tow it in third gear. You might try putting it in reverse and pulling it to see if it will turn backwards.

If you pull it by the front, you can easily break the front end loose. Then the guy that said it isn't worth fixing will be right.

Once started it putted along pretty good. It
