I bought my first Cat 20 when I was 17 in 1959. The engine was froze up. I got it running with minimal work and dry ice. The undercarriage was shot but I planted my first two crops with it.
Matt's engine was locked up. I would have tried to get it free before ever thinking of removing it. It was an unusual case in that it had no hood and water had gotten in and rusted the lifters, timing gears and destroyed the cam shaft.

At this point he has the service manual, has watched Squatch videos and seems to know where to stop and what to do.
