I agree with rustred. Just go ahead and take the head off. I don't care what you hear on these web sites. You will only get about 10% of the engines unstuck by soaking them. Then the few you do will have stuck rings and/or scored cylinder walls from rust. A good friend did get a JD "G" unstuck with soaking. He then had to change the plugs every parade because it burnt so much oil. He then overhauled it anyway. With the head off you can get the plug out several ways. 1) Weld the nut on it like some suggested. 2) Take a good STRAIGHT fluted/splined ez out and try it. Not those taper left handed POS. 3) Just go in from the bottom of the head with a small chisel and pick the plug out. With any of these when done clean the treads out with a tap BEFORE installing the head or new plugs. To take the head off and check/free the engine up you are only gambling the cost of a head gasket. If you can't afford that then owning/restoring an old tractor is not what you should be doing anyway.
