Offhand, I would say woodcutters, leg press and seated rows.

Try to pull start a lawnmower that hasn’t worked in years.
 
I would think deadlifts, squats, and farmers walks would best serve someone for that. Because it's not really a row movement as much as it's a full body pulling movement. You would want a strong back, core, legs and grip.

Arm wrestling seems to be forearm/grip intensive, starting there would be a good idea
 
Basic powerlifting and bodybuilding stuff. If you watch the competitors, they become rigid and lock their arm In place with their lat, allowing them to use their bodyweight against their opponents arm.
 
Go on Youtube and type in guys like Devon Larratt, Janis Amolins into the search bar.

They work the arms in a much different way than classical bodybuilding and weight lifting. There is a lot of emphasis on hand strength, pronation and supination.

They mostly use curls for long....heavy...static holds at the top of the movement.(These will fuck you up compared to classic reps...Get ready for your tendons to be on fire for the first couple months of training.)

Here, made it easy for you...One of MANY videos.
 
Watch 'Pulling John' its an awesome movie but also will show you how the best guys in the world train for arm wrestling.
 
german volume training with jacking off
10 x 10 on working sets

if you want to work grip, add a fat gripz around, and do a 5 x 5
 
Devon Larratt has a lot of good arm wrestling techniques and homemade equipment on his Youtube channel.
