Now you've got the right idea and at the right price, too. I brought a TD 340 back to life after sitting for 8 years. I blocked it up securely and each day I'd put a little diesel or waste oil(just a few drops) at each hinge that I could reach. When I first started, the tracks were so frozen that they just skidded along the ground when I tried to pull the tractor. By the time I finally got the engine to run (still blocked up), It only took two attempts of letting the clutch out in low gear to get the tracks to move. Then each day that I had it on blocks, I'd run the tracks to a new position and oil the parts I coulcn't reach before. I wish I had thought of using PB Blaster first and then a heavier oil after the Blaster worked it's magic.
