I am leery of using the tractor hydraulics as described below. Before trying to turn the engine, remove the valve cover and the rocker arm assembly so that if a valve is stuck, you don't bend a push rod.

It would help to lub and pressurize each cylinder for a few minutes, then letting the cylinder that is just past TDC sit with air pressure. Hydraulic pressure from another tractor is enough to bend or bust engine components (about 10 times high combustion pressures).
