Bought a cub in June. Motor is stuck. Was in a barn for many years, guy cleaned out the barn and pushed the cub outside,no cover on exhaust. Was out a few weeks. Took head off. Rust on 2 valves and piston #3 had a small trail of rust running down cylinder wall. Otherwise looks good. Stuck the shop vac in each cylinder and cleaned em out. Blew compressed air in around each piston. Filled with Deep Creep. Let sit. No movement after a couple weeks. Cleaned out again. Tried Free All. Nope. Tried transmission fluid. Nope. Starter is off. Rocked tractor back and forth,in gear,every couple days. Fluid drains down around 1-2-& 4. Tried pry bar on flywheel, tractor out of gear, very, very little give .......now what? Sure didn't look that stuck??? Am I missing something? We did buy a spare cub motor last week, at this point I just want to see this one turn.
