Hi everyone. Thanks to the help of this forum, I learned that I
have a 1955 ford 800. I have three questions. The first is
simple. How do I know if my pto is live or a transmission pto?
Model number 850 71442 is on the transmission right about
the starter.
Next. How does the differential work? When I put the
transmission into any gear, jack up the back wheels, and try to
turn the wheels manually, they both spin freely in opposite
directions with little effort, but the engine does not turn. Even
thought it's in gear. Is this normal, or is the transmission
broken somewhere?
The third question is a little bigger. The engine is seized and I
don't know what to try next. We tried filling the cylinders with
atf/acetone and letting it sit for two weeks. Did nothing. I took
the head off and and the oil pan off and found rust in two
cylinders. I've sprayed rust remover in the cylinders and on
the pistons but I still can't get them to move. What should be
my next step?
Thanks so much.
