I note the “you can always buy a donor machine quite cheaply”. I assume the value of this one is about 300Kg of scrap metal. It might be better to use this as a donor machine, looking at it, I don’t know, if there’s anything usable there, I find the prospect somewhat depressing. Anyway, questions:

I live about 350yds from this machine. If I (literally) dig it out, is there any way I could move it that distance, on its own wheels, with no running engine. I have a Howard 350 that it might be possible to use as help pull.

As I say, I know nothing whatsoever about these. Can any drive mechanism be disconnected, and are wheels/axle likely to be able to rotate?
