I know you're eager, we've all been there, but you need to find your inner Mechanic Zen. OK, pull up a yoga matt and now BREATH with me. In. Out. Ommmmmmmmmmmm.
OK, now that you've got your Zen on, slow down!!! If you have a stuck engine, TIME is your friend. Pull the plugs, lube the cylinders with ATF or Deep Creep and WAIT. Give it a few days or a week.
Then start gently working on "rocking" the motor back and forth. YOU absolutely want to unstick the motor in the least invasive way possible. Get a bar on it and slowly work on getting it loose.
Be gentle and take your time. This is part of being a good mechanic. Don't go tearing into what may not be broken. As I said in your last thread, there will be PLENTY to do on an old tractor without getting in over your head with a full on overhaul.
Also, here's a warning about YouTube. Just because some generic mechanic puts a video out there, it doesn't' mean they know what they are doing. There's a lot of stuff out there that is plain old wrong. Problem is you only find out this after trying to do it the way they did it.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
