  I picked up a complete tractor only to find that the engine is seized. Now I have never had to work on one of these and looking for ideas. I did pull the heads, sprayed the pistons with SeaFoam penetrating oil, put the heads back on and letting it sit.. any oth

OK umm big question - ho do you know the engine is seized? Did you pull the motor and pop the blower shroud off the front and check for mouse nests or jammed starter or some debris fell down and jammed flywheel up against shroud? I've seen many such issues with engines mounted like that that came in deemed "junk for parts" that the person simply did not or could not be bothered to spend the time and effort to pull the engine and actually look .....
