I just picked up a Case Model C. It all there but siezed up tight. I tried taking the head off and puring every kind of pennetrating fluid down the cylinders. I tried beating on the top of the pistons with a hard maple stick and a 3lb hammer to no avail. How can I get it to breack loose?

The main thing you need for breaking loose a stuck motor is patience. I don't mean to sound like a wise guy, but that really is important. They will need to soak quite a while. It took a long time to get stuck, and it will take time to free it. There are many fluids you can use, but when it comes to force, don't get carried away. Make sure there is always a wooden block between the piston and the object pushing on it. I know a lot of people who use diesel fuel, or automatic transmission fluid , and fill the cylinders and let it set at least a couple of weeks before they start whacking on the pistons. After they beat on them a little while they fill up the cylinders again and wait some more. Each round helps a little more with the penetration of the fluid without to much strain on the pistons and sleeves. It can take several rounds of this before they come free.
