[Farmall] stuck engine

[Barney Van De Weert]

I would pull the plugs, use a air hose to blow any water and debris that may be 
on top of the pistons, then spray in liberal amounts of penetrating oil. 
Patience is important as it may take a month or more for things to loosen up. I 
do like Blaster as a penetrating oil, it seems to work well. I had a 5/8" bolt 
stuck in the axle housing on my A, I used Blaster on it with no results so I 
figured I'd leave it alone vs. make a bigger problem. Just before I was ready to 
paint it, (about 2 years later) I gave it a tap w/ a hammer and it slid right 
out.

Depending on the circumstances, you may want to pull the head if it's set out 
and has gotten water in it.

Subject: [Farmall] stuck engine

Hi to all on the list.
I am buying a F12 Farmall. The engine is stuck, and has been soaking. The 
guy I am buying it from has tried to free the engine, but has had no luck. 
Anyone have some ideas about what to use? This question has probably been on 
here before, but I just wondered if maybe someone has tried somthing new, 
that loosens things up better than some of the oils suggested before? 
Thanks, Kevin.
