What about water mixed with molasses? Someone posted a while ago 
about how this mixture would remove rust from an old engine block.

I am looking for any suggestions or recommendations for a real rust 
buster.

I have two sets of almost new TD6 track that sat on a machine for 
years and
all the joints were either really stiff or frozen.

I have soaked all the joints w/ diesel, driven over them several 
times with
wheel loaders and even a track loader.  I presoaked them again with 
diesel
and with the use of an excavator boom to hold each link down in 
sequence,
and using the curl linkage, I hooked up to each link and was able to 
work
each joint back and forth a little before moving down the chain to 
the next
link.  It is still too tight!

I talked to an old (like me) crawler man who has run a track shop for
decades (and he has "seen-it-all") and he does not think I should set 
them
on fire.  He has run across track like this before and he could not 
even
dismantle them without ruining or busting some of the individual 
links.

What liquid rust breaker on the market will really work (vs. what is 
simply
marketed and does not work)!?

Thanks for any help.
