Do you have the tractor inside so you can mess with it? Either way, you are going to have to either climb under the tractor or remove the inspection cover (area between the front of the rear fenders and the steering tower) and get some PB Blaster (or whatever you prefer) sprayed on the end of the treads of the knob. Then use a strap wrench to apply some pressure to the knob to loosen it. If you don't have a strap wrench, you could use one of the oil fitler wrenches on it that looks like a band of metal, when you pull on the handle, the band tightens on the oil filter and breaks it loose. However, the knob will be too small, slick, and hard for this wrench to work unless you can find something rubber to wrap around the knob for the wrench to bite against...peice of split heater hose, bike tire, radiator hose, etc. With either of these tools and some penetrating oil, you should be able to get the knob off. Hope this helps you out some, good luck!
