[Farmall] Farmall M remote hydraulic valve stuck

[Andy glines]

I bet that you can get it freed up.  If you have a
bucket of used oil just toss it in there and leave it
for a few weeks.  Don't get to rough with it. 
Scratches on the spool will cause it to leak so be
gentle.  Oil will loosen almost any rusty part if it
is given TIME to work.
