I agree with DAN pure some Marvel Mystery oil pr any other type of penetrating oil into the spark plug holes, remove the flywheel cover and work the flywhell with a good size prybar, only try to move it a little at a time and work it in both directions, ( you may have to remove the front driveshaft to get clearance to work).
Unless the engine is rusted solid (it shouldn't be from just sitting) is should pop free after only a few days. Don't force it though as you could break a ring.
I have freed up many engines this way and have had great luck.
Good luck Ernie Baals.
