Before you loosen the bolts on the starter, try just rocking the wheels with the tractor in high gear. If the starter is locked, it will not move the fan until it the starter pops out. If rocking the wheels does not do it at first then loosen the two starter bolts, do not remove them, just loosen and rock the wheels with it in high gear. You will hear a pop when the solenoid springs back out of engage and the fan will start moving. Tighten the bolts and it will crank then.

If it is locked, you may not be able to turn the engine with the hand crank, but I have been able to unlock a starter a few times with just the crank. It all depends on how hard it is jammed in. Once it locks up, do not pull on the starter rod again until it has been unlocked, you just bind it in harder.
