I went to use my 1940 H today, first time since last year sometime. Battery was dead and I found that the exhaust pipe had rusted off the manifold and let the whole thing fill up with water. Put all my muscle into the hand crank, but it would not bugde! I put the battery charger on it for a couple hours, had my son push in on the hand crank and laid into it with the old 6 foot pipe wrench. After some bouncing she broke loose, shoowee! kicked the starter in to motion and to my suprise she fired up after about a dozen turns. We got quite shower, but one that I was glad to get. I guess IH is like General Motors "BUILT LIKE A ROCK!!!!! "

Glad she's free'd up but you are very lucky to say the least. Water doesn't compress very well and you were at risk of ending up with a bent rod or having it come out through the side of the block. Those are the ugly stuckers.
