Hi, about 50 years I did the same thing to a JD 420U in -25F weather. The water had seeped into the brakes and froze and that was what was causing the rear wheels not to move. In either 1st or Rev it would just stall the engine when the clutch was released. We hooked a chain onto the drawbar and the 3pt drawbar on the other tractor and lifted the rear of the JD out of the mud and water and trailed it backward out of the hole with both rear wheels locked solid. Then we put the 3pt drawbar under the drawbar of the JD and put a bolt thru both drawbars then picked the rear wheels of the JD off the ground and towed to a neighbor's heated garage. It took a couple days for the JD to thaw out.
I don't know if water can get into your JD 2140's brakes or not.
Good luck at getting it unstuck but if you can chain the bucket to a tree and roll the bucket, it should pull it forward.
