Thanks for this started info.  Now I know that nut on top is for the flywheel.   It is 5/8″.  I put a 6 point socket on it with just a regular handle ratchet.  I did not add a breaker bar.   I did secure the motor so it would not swivel.  It did not budge.

I mentioned the two penetrants I used.  Might there be something better to try?  Otherwise, what is my next step.

Thanks for helping.
