Here's something that worked for me on a '40 H that had been sitting in a orchard without a cover on the manifold when I bought it.
The engine was stuck tight: all four pistons were frozen in place, lots of water in each cylinder.I got all put one out with ATF, a mallet and 2x2, and patience, but the #3 just wouldn't budge (it had the most rust in it). An old mechanic/friend told me to clean it out and pour paint thiner in it for awhile: just keep it topped off and tap with a rubber mallet everyday.
Within 2 weeks it loosened the rust enough to get it free.
I've also been told PB Blaster works too, but I've never had the chance to try it. Hope this .02 cents worth helps.
