A farmall M is a small low compression engine it does not take much to turn it over if you want to find out on the right side of the tractor push on the fan belt so as to increase tension on it and turn the fan with the other hand. You should be able to get some crankshaft movement like this. It wont really roll over but you will figure out if its seized. I have unstuck a few of these with exellent results. Fill it up with atf let it sit for about a month and see what happens. Use the starter and a battery charger the first time. Alot of People will tell you to tear it down and give you a whole list of what if's but long story short it'll be fine because as long as you're not pulling it down the road and jamming it into gear the starter isn't capable of generating enough torque to hurt anything. Oh and I forgot to mention crank it without the spark plugs in it.
