seized could also say .. broken rod.. and crankshaft will not rotate..
and yes.. a engine ran once a month would not lockup.. unless ...
also could be hydraulic lockup... fuel leaked into cylinder and filled it up.. stopping engine from rotating.
and maybe Water leaked into air filter assembly.. and intake valve was open... filling cylinder with rain water...locking engine.
remove spark plug and rotate engine by hand and a socket wrench.
