: : : I've been away from the computer for a few days and was catching up on some reading on "tractor talk". I was looking at the ideas for unsticking a frozen engine. I had to look at the calendar and make sure it wasn't April 1st. Also thought maybe Martha Stewart was writing in. Do some of those crazy ideas actually work or are y'all jes funnin' me?
: : I came in on this late and I swear Marvel Mystery oil is the way to go. Mix it 1 part to 2 parts kerosene. Dont mean to muddy the water anymore but I had to get my 2 cents in! : )
: ONE MORE RECIPE i use marvel mystery oil alot
: whenever iam rebuliding an engine but the prolem with marvel mystey oil and kerosene is is that its to thin i use 1/3 automatic transmission oil
: (great solvent try on your hands some time)1/3 marvel mystrey oil 1/3 kerosene leave the plugs out put in first gear as you walk by just lean against a tire once one why then the other sounds crazy never broke a piston in about 15 stuck engines ( good luck)
I know "furshur" the boilin' little parts works, the alcohol works too. I'm not sure about the hickory steak (stake?) and beer... seems to me that the operators would loosen up a long time before the piston would. Brute force & ignorance allways seem to break things when a 6'4' 300 pound Indian tries it. My Mom allways said "don't force it, use a bigger hammer." Me
