Strangely enough we had the same issue a month or two back. One of the Romanian guys soaked it in water for an hour or two, it worked, go figure?

I reckon the best answer for those is electrolysis. It will remove the rust and probably free them up as well. You need a plastic bucket, an old battery charger, some iron and some washing soda. There are loads of YT videos showing how.

Yes, that's what I'd try first.

Does anybody have any tips for unseizing cast iron wheels ? I've been after some for a while and managed to get some cheap, thing is there seized.
I have used Shield Technology's RESTORE to remove rust from a number of different old tools. For small items I put them in an ultrasonic bath and let that run for a few minutes then left them for a week. After washing off the Restore and a stiff brushing, they were usable again.

That ruins the old rhyme "I had a friend named charley, I have that friend no more, for what he thought was DiHydrogen Monoxide was DiHydrogen Sulpher Quadroxide" It really does lose it's rhythm. :?
