I think you are on the right track by just operating it to loosen things up but I would check the fluid right after you have operated it for a while. Being the machine sat in the weeds for three years I'd bet the fluid is going to look milky right after you shut it off from a run long enough to warm things up meaning it has water mixed in it. Change the fluid to get the water and crud flushed out.
No doubt you are going to find the same situation with the engine oil, you should drain the old oil and replace it.

Would suggest low RPM's to begin with and be sure to grease and oil all fittings first. ....
