I have read many posts in the archives about freeing the steering on wagon running gears. So, far I have soaked each side with penetrating oil and have used an acetylene torch rosebud for heat. I really can't get everything hot at once. Used a sledge hammer on the steering arms to attempt to turn the vertical shafts. The two steering shafts are 1.5" in diameter which are inside about a 2" tube with 1/4" walls. I have taken the tie rods off. Center/tongue is not froze. Just each wheel. I really do not want to cut the wall of the outer tube open - just feel that it would weaken them to much. I recently JB welded some 6" lengths of 2" PVC pipes on top of the 2" outer tubes which I filled with marvel mystery oil and acetone to provide 24 hour soaking. After a couple weeks still no progress. So far I have not beat on the outer tube or the top of the shaft. I sometimes wonder if I could beat on the outsides to stretch the metal, then beat on the sides 45 degrees away to somewhat reshape the tube. I am about ready to take it to a welding shop with a BIG rosebud. Any more ideas??????

I see a lot of discussion forum messages regarding damaged clutches from improper assembly. The objective is to have the engine and transmission slide together safely and easily until the gap between the two halves is less than 1/4", BEFORE tightening any of the bolts holding the two together. Using bolts to draw the two halves together will damage the PTO
