1951 John Deere b stuck shifting forks

Hey guys I recently purchased a 51 jd b and I can shift fine in all gears except second and fifth. I took off the steering pedestal and found the forks and gears to be rusty. I have been soaking the forks in penetrating oil and have been tapping them with a hammer and I can't get them to move. Am I missing any thing here because I can get the other shifter forks to move just not the second and fifth gear one. Anyone that has had the same issue I'm having please feel free to give me some advice. Or if anyone has any other ideas that could help me I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Billjdb12 ,I have a 52 B that stuck in reverse after being parked for some time. I took off the steering pedestal also and found the forks and gears to be rusty,sprayed them down with PB Blaster and tapped em till every thing was freed up.Just keep spraying and tapping and wire brushing till you get them freed up.
