Hey brother try taking some Acetone and ATF and mix both the ATF and Acetone in a jug half and half, shake it up and poor it down the cylinders and let it sit. That is the best thang to poor in the cylinders of any stuck engine.

Put the Oliver in high gear and tug on it with another tractor or a truck. Hopefully you didn’t pull the threads in the crank snout. That wouldn’t be good. I never try to break engines loose on the crank bolt. I only use it to bar free engines over. If the clutch will hold that’s probably the best bet. Also leave the plugs out while pulling.

They produce much less power than gasoline as well so today's applications there is no way to run them on tractors unless you put a behemoth of an engine in there. But they are one of the cleanest fuel around environment wise, like 99% less pollutants compared to diesel as well as cheaper to run. Cars and light trucks could've benefitted massively from them.
