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 - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
