Mark, What if I added lubrication to the other side of the valve stem. Mix in a little 2 cycle oil, 50:1 or 100:1?
Your good buddy would mix in ATF.
I guess my experience with a stuck valve proves one thing. When you put a hardworking girl in a nursing home, she dies!
My boy wants my Jubilee. He lives in an HOA community and has no place to store the Jubilee. He bought a new house about 10 years ago. As a housewarming give I bought him his dream mower. He wanted a walk behind mower, not a riding mower.
I think he said it takes him only 25 minutes to mow his small yard.
It takes me about how much time to mow my yard with with the Kubota.
I bought the Jubilee about 15 years ago with the 6 ft woods mower. She was my workhorse. She moved 2.25 acres at a rental property and my lawn, over an acre. Pushed snow during the impending ice age.
Now she is dying in a nursing home. I need to put her back together while my boy is there to see how I freed up the stuck valve in case it happens in the future.
It's a good thing my mom's 1950 farmall still has a full time job mowing my other property.
If you don't use it, you lose it, seems to apply.
What would you spray the valve stems with to prevent them from rusting? I want to spray them with something when it is running to prevent rust. What spray will stick to the valve stem and not gum up in the future? White lube in a spray can? Dry garage door lub? I can spray the valve stem through the valve springs with the valve cover off.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
