We have a minneapolis moline UTS that had not ran for close to 5 years because it was flipped and needs serious mechanical work. (Just so you know, we just got the tractor 6 months ago. we did not flip it! :) Anyway, the engine is starting to sieze. I was able to turn it over last july (actually breaking the pistons free, which started my suspisions)and could still move the engine in the fall. last night, I tried to turn it over, but could not budge it with a 5-foot breaker bar in the belt pully. (I wonder if i'm too late. I'll try again in the morning when it's warmer.) So, what is the best cure for a freashly siezed engine? I would prefer not to remove the heads until I'm ready to rebuild the thing. I filled two of the cyilenders with diesel before my deep socket gave out. thanks in advance for any replies, Chris
