Answer
Jim there is 2 ways you can try the first is to put gear lever in neutral then try to turn the engine via the fan blades forward and back this may release the jammed starter.
The other is to put the tractor in 3rd gear and rock it backward and forward to release the starter.
Jim try these items first and then if it fails to release remove the starter from memory it is bolted by 2 bolts and  2 wires.
