I got the 1939 B engine to move a little finally, head off, soaking it for near a month. Started a couple of fires in the holes. My 3" snapon pry bar would just flex. I pulled off the radiator so I could access the front of the engine. As it happened, my contractor is ripping up the dining room floor, and left a 10" spud bar, I could barely fit it in the slot, but I got the engine to rotate about 30 degrees, before I ran out of throw on the bar.
The hand crank or pry bar still aren't enough to move it, so I need some kind of tool to put some torque on the crank pulley. I'd love to have a way to turn the crank back and forth, but can't find a good way to achieve this. Hand crank only, no electric start. Strap wrench or chain wrench maybe? Manual should be here in a couple of days, from what I see the pulley must be pressed on.
I used some AeroKroil on it Saturday, I don't know if that is what did it, stuff is pricey. I gave the rest to the Farmall next to us.
