Fifteen years on a rebuild does not seem like that long for a tractor on light duty. Changing the oil and filter are good ideas. Water will not support the crankshaft like oil will. Is the radiator full ? Do you have an antifreeze tester ? If the block did not freeze and crack, that would be good. If it starts, look in the radiator and see if there are bubbles that smell exhaust. Bubbles would mean that combustion pressure is getting into the cooling system - i.e. it needs a head gasket. As mentioned before, retorqueing the head probably won't help. The good thing is that it is straight forward to replace the head gasket.
