@TUT_59 "50/50 mix of diesel and ATF". Thats my dads favorite formula for getting things unstuck. Used several times buying old stuck JD Model A and B tractors. Soaked for a week, did a little pull starting, and they all broke loose and ran!
Update today: Bought truck in middle of January. Here it is end of February, and IT RUNS! Surprising well. Too bad we can't post videos here.
Got to work on the cooling system next. I do see the freeze plug on the block, under the carb, has a hole in it. Sooo, JB weld, for poor mans way, or hassle with changing out the plug in a nice tight spot. I guess I could go with an expandable for a temp fix.
