about 20 years ago, I pulled a model A ford doodlebug out of the brush, where it had sat for about 20 years. The engine was stuck, the transmission was stuck, and some of the brakes were stuck. I poured kerosene in the spark plug holes, and the transmission, and let it sit for a few weeks. Then each day, I would stand on the crank to see if it would turn. After about a week of this, it turned. The transmission was stuck tighter, and a sledge hammer was needed to get the sliding gears to slide. I got it running, and it has been running each summer for the last 20 years.
