Ive had a suggested mix in my A for over 2 months. Im going to sell it. I decided to put a belt onto it and try to free it thinking it would sell better loose than stuck. Heck. It wouldnt budge.

What "home brew" are you using? If possible to pull rod caps and remove block, you can set it up vertical and build a fire in each cylinder. Keep adding diesel and oil mix to the fire to keep it going for couple hours, then put a wood block in cylinder big as the bore and hit it with a sledge hammer.
sounds like you want to unstick it with out dissassembly. May not be possible. Might want to give it more time. Didnt stick over night so will take some time to unstick. Jim.

James, believe me, there are engines that are so rusted up that no amount of magic elixer will EVER free them up. Only way to salvage the engine is to actually BREAK the pistons and take them out in pieces.

FarmallB,Ive never seen a motor that wouldnt free up,Most of the time soaking does not free them,but it helps,I actually use steel and a 30 lb hammer,and I havent destroyed one yet,If your motor has alumiun pistons thats tough.Penatrating oil only works if it can penatrate

Even if you could get the tractor unstuck, the rings are usually stuck in the piston grooves. This would require disassembly anyway.

I had a friend bring me a 300 series IH 4 banger once that was locked up tight. I worked on it for a couple of days and finally started it to moving and eventually freed up, fixed, and that was about 6 years ago. I guess we just got licky.

I had a stuck B that I soaked for a month, would not budge. So I took it apart and found the cylinder wall was broken and was jambing the piston. No amount of fluid or brew will help that kind of situation.

That sounds like an F-20 farmall I got once, even if it had come loose #3 sleeve had a grape fruit size hole in it, as well as two rods that were squiggly shaped.

Looks like you were hoping that you could magically fix a stuck engine by just pouring something in it. Not usually gonna happen!

If an engine is stuck bad enough, the best penetrating oil in the world alone won't magically loosen it.
