Motor sat 6 months without oil.Motor cranks hard.Seems like its seized.

 
Try some "croul" (hopefully I spelled that right) oil, you will not
find it unless you go to a industial supply shop... Its kinda like
Liquid wrench (a penetrating oil) only by far stronger. Put some in
each cylander from the top and cover your crank with it. Let it set for
about 3 days.. Drain it out and flush they system with some 5 Wt oil..
then try to crank it.. note.. you engine will leak from almost every
seal for about a month but it works :)

1. Bad idea, sitting like that. Was it assembled with assembly lube?
2. Did you prime the oil system before cranking?
3. If no to #2, prime it now.
4. spray a little bit of WD-40 in each cylinder, that may help.
