Robert:

My money is on "yes it can be salvaged".  I once salvaged a motor that was 
left outdoors with the air cleaner off, letting rain and snow get into the 
internals.  The pistons were in there pretty tight, but I managed to get 
them out without damage.  Yours should be easy by comparison.

Have you ever seen what some of the Old Tractor guys start with?  Here is a 
good one.  http://phoenix.craigslist.org/grd/405242986.html

There are books about restoring old tractors, and most books deal with stuck 
motors.  Most old tractors lived outdoors and are far more likely to get 
stuck motor syndrom than a TR6.
