im going to look at a tractor near my cabin in wild bush alaska, anyway this allis has been sitting there for almost 20 years +or- 5, winter snow can reach 120 in. of snow, and summer temp is around 100 and medium humdity. getting to my question, do you farmers and tractor guro's think this allis will still turn over? not to start, but just to crank, see if it is free? any reply will be greatly appreciated! thank you

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any liquid you pour into it to free it up. If you want it to run, plan on rebuilding the engine.

Check to see if the exhaust has been covered and also how the muffler fits into the exhaust manifold. Nelson mufflers (AC originals) were designed with a cover that went over the outside of the manifold outlet so that no water could run down the muffler and in thru the joint. If all is tight you might get by with just putting penetrating oil in thru the spark plug holes. If there is any evidence of water getting in the engine plan on pulling the head at the very least, and replacing the sleeves and pistons (or even a cracked block) at the worst. You can also check the oil for water...that is a good sign that it came in thru the exhaust. Take out the drain plug and see if any water (or ice) comes out.

Turpentine works well but if it has set that long you are still looking at rebuilding the engine sence all the seals and gaskets will be bad and the cylinder walls will probably be so badly pitted that if you got it to start it would smoke so bad you could see to drive it
