Hi all, I know this is old hat for all of you, but I am a relative rookie. I recently purchased a 1937 Farmall F-20N that is in good condition other than being stuck and having a horribly cracked and rusted manifold. No cracks in the block that I can find. I took the valve cover off and all looks new. I took the covers off that allow you to see the bottom sections of the engine, and there is a little rust down there, but not too much. I am sure that my problem stems from water getting in through the exhaust. I have poured some penetrating oil and a lot of rust penetrant with Taxtyl-8 (?) in it. The blending dept. at work might make me some more brews. Anyway, I did that about a week ago, and now I amcurious, what if anything I should do next. Should I just let it sit for months on end and keep the cylinders full? Whab should I try to start to get her loose? Should I drop the oil pan and the take of the head and play around with it? Should I fill the motor up with oil or one of the special mixtures? Should I try to just use the crank to test if it is still stuck, or should I try another method to try to get things moving? As you can see, I have a lot of questions and would appreciate all the comments you could give. Thanks, Tony

One of the old timers that would sit with Dad and chew the fat about the 'good ole days' was Joe Capalco. Joe wasn't like most of my Dad's friends. He rarely worked that we knew of. Always had plenty of time
