Here's a way to unstick a motor that might work on yours. Use a rotary wire brush to remove the rust above the pistons then blow all the crud out with compressed air and pour a bunch of WD40 or the like on the pistons. Put a wrench on the crank pulley nut or a pipe wrench on the pulley so it sticks out as near horizontal as you can get it. Then weigh down the handle with whatever you can use and leave it like that for a week or two. The steady pressure while the oil is doing its thing will often do the job. If not put the wrench pointing the other way and try again. This doesn't always work but it's worth a try and your motor doesn't look too bad.
