Great post Mick, very helpful.
In nearly 40 years of working with that type of machine I've never encountered one stuck that badly. The worst one need two robust young men to give it a good shove, but that's as bad as I've ever seen (and I was one of those two young men at the time.)
I think that's one area where using the old formula Vactra 2 or similar way oil with the "tackifier" additives would be a no-no. Some with EP (extreme pressure) additives would be the better choice.
