breaking engine loose

Have a bud here in St louis that restores really OLD and forgotten tractors.
Some of these things have been sitting for 50 years..outside.

He pre lubes cylinders with KROYL and finds the top piston and uses a spark
plug adaptor with a grease fitting on it and pumps the cylinder till it
breaks loose, then takes over with a breaker bar...

Sounds primitive, but you would not believe the number of engines he gets to
turn over and get running again.....it simply amazes me.
