Rotating a stuck engine

The D 14 Allis my son bought as a stuck motor. When I get healed up I want to start working on it for him later when he gets off the boat in September. We did not get a hand crank with it. I know there should be a place to see the flywheel and starter gear but i have not found it yet. Can any of you point me in the right direction for this. I know that I can rock it back and forth but I was hoping to find a spot to hand move it. I have put some PB Blaster and Marvel Mystery Oil in the cylinders hoping to help it free up.
As I said getting things ready to work on it when I heal up form the accident.
Thanks for any suggestions.
 
I would pull the rocker cover and check for stuck valves. You don't want to bend a pushrod when it starts turning over. Don't ask how I know this. I have had good luck with ATF/Acetone mixed 50/50. If you have access to a bore scope it wouldn't hurt to look inside to see how rusty it might be or which cylinder is the problem. Another option is to pull the pan and look up from the bottom for rust streaks and it will give you a good idea of the overall condition. Your headed the right direction getting penetrant in the cylinders to soak for several months. Good luck on the tractor and heal up soon.
