Years ago (and we are talking years ago), Coke was a rust
removed/penetrator. It has a LOT of pohosphoric acid in it and would
seep down in the crevices and cracks and worked ok except it removed
any and all finish you might have on the metal.

Indeed. Only 9", only 25 pounds, and only sold for $62. Hrmph. So much

oil to free it up,like a penetrating oil like PB or aerokroil or whatever
you have let it soak in oil for a few days

I tried Liquid Wrench, because that's what I had. I've never heard of PB or
aerokroil, but I doubt I can get'em at Wal-Mart.
