Those hand crank sleeves can be hard to move after nearly 60 years of neglect. Even when the bolster is separated from the tractor, they can try one's patience. I've freed several and used heat and oil. There is a good chance that the fan belt is original.
If you want a quick solution, you have two options. Destroy the sleeve with a hammer or sawsall or both. The other option is to use a linked V-belt that is widely available.

They are entirely serviceable as a fan belt. I have seen a number of Farmalls with them.
