The engine on my H froze up while sitting too long. Any suggestions for how to get it loose? Thanks, cop

Automatic transmission fluid and acetone or Kroil oil.

Yes, pull the plugs, fill the cylinders, let it set a few days,
put the transmission in high gear and then start to rock the tractor back and forth.

Thanks guys. I'll let you know how it goes. Maybe a week or two.

I had the same thing happen on my JD H many years ago, WD 40 in the spark plug holes and all was good again....those are tough old tractors!

Thank guys. I mixed automatic transmission fluid and acetone in equal amounts. Funneled it in through the plug holes til it ran out. I let sit a couple of weeks. Yesterday day I put a couple 1/2 bolts in the flywheel holes and pried back and forth. It came free. Pretty simple. Thank for the tip. Cop
