If it was just turning over, I doubt it's locked up from any liquid -gas, oil, or water. MAYBE coolant getting drawn in on the intake stroke, but that's all easily checked by pulling the plugs as everyone else has suggested.
Since it was frozen when you began, and freed up with oil, the first thing I'd worry about is that you lost a ring.
Just because you freed the engine doesn't mean the rings are going to enjoy being forced up and down against corroded cylinder walls.
I know there are a lot of guys who do the soak-until-free method, but personally, if the tractor's been sitting for more than a year, and it's an engine I care about, I'm a big fan of pulling the head and lightly honing the cylinders (with pistons in place) to remove all the corrosion.
Leaving it there puts a lot of stress on the rings.
