I freed up a little John Deere M not too long ago. I had it soaking in automatic transmission fluid and penetrating oil and diesel fuel mix, but it don't make much difference I don't think what you use. I ended up taking the head off, cleaning out all the junk, then honing the what I could in their, then took a 4x4 and tapped w/a big hammer. It moved a little bit, then I jacked on rear wheel up, put in gear, and helped move it while a buddy tapped the 4x4, and continually cleaned as I went. I put it back together w/new gaskets, drained gas, put a battery in it and it started. Then I shut down and changed the oil, etc. I thought it was a lost cause when I saw all the junk in there when I took the head off, but it turned out okay. I had tried pulling it to and that didn't work. Head gaskets aren't that much, and it is easy to do, just get the torque for the head. Good luck.
