Will the tractor roll in gear with the clutch released? And then lock the wheels with the clutch engaged? If so, that narrows it down to the engine, not the transmission, not the clutch.
Since it tried to turn, turned the 1 1/2 turns and stopped, something is seized.
Will the crank turn any at all? As in watching very carefully while prying back and forth, looking for microscopic movement. If there is no movement, even try end to end, then there is a seized main bearing. If there is "some" movement, trace it down to what's not moving.
There will be side to side movement in each connecting rod. Feel them out, make sure each will move. Then apply turning leverage to the crank. Check for side to side rod movement again. If one won't move, that piston is seized.
If all that checks out, start removing accessories, hydraulic pumps, etc. Look under the front cover. Just a matter of disassembling until you find it.
