Thanks for the thoughts, pjt. But Yes
and Yes. It has brand new scars from my hammering on it. Even brought an
air chisel home and sawed one of the tips down blunt & tried to vibrate
some life into it.
Got a stick of dynamite you'd like to contribute?

I read that one way to break loose a
flywheel one a small engine is to take a air hammer with a pointed tool in
it. You hold the flywheel and let the air chisel point bang on the end of
the shaft. It is supposed to make the flywheel pop right off.
Perhaps you could do something similiar on a larger scale. You don't want
to loose your stubborn nutcase status.

Here's the link to Kroil.
http://www.kanolaboratories.com/
It's a super good penetrant. I get it locally from the guy I get all my
bullets, powder and reloading supplies from. It makes a good rust
preventive. The say it will penetrate one millionth of an inch.
You could drill and tap and install some zerk fittings in several places.
I think the key to using penetrant is "time" to let the stuff do it's
work. I'd be patient, and let it soak for about a month, while filling the
zerks every day. When you get it free, remove the zerks. Install
some pipe plugs. Saw them off. Grind them flush to match the vise contour.
when you paint it you'll never see where the holes were.

Paint it???? Paint it! Hmph.
I had thought of pipe plugs but you know, it wouldn't hurt a thing to be
able to grease it once in a while.
Thanks for the link, dunno why I didn't think to do a search.

As one buzzard said to the other
buzzard “patience hell-let’s kill something.”
I doubt that any anti-cease, de-ruster is going to get between the parts.
Get some charcoal-several bags and get it burning in a steel drum cut off
to make a fire pot or build a wood fire in a pit until there is a bed of
coals. Lower the vise by chains, movable (??) jaw up, into the coals and
let the vise get red hot. Then hoist it up and smack the vise body with
your big sledge.
Option 2; Drill the key out! Then try twisting the movable jaw and the
vise while pushing with the jack.

Ummm,
The heat option might work; I've been thinking about something along that
line. But drilling out the key? Bear in mind it is about a foot long.
That's why I said the bottom is where it is stuck the worst - I think.

Well, I can appreciate the sentiment but this vise doesn't have a tapered
shaft in a matching aluminum flywheel.
 A sharp rap with a hammer
does the same thing, but you could beat this thing to pieces before it
popped apart.

And, NOW, a word from our Sponsor;
Uncle Franz's Products.
I think the time has come for submerging in diesel fuel for a month or so.
Geez, I take the evening off to go check out Martina McBride, and you guys
go nuts wantin to sledgomatic a poor vise. This thing didn't get stuck
over night, and it ain't gonna get unstuck quick either.

Hi Cutter;
I offered the drill the key out as a last resort kind of thing, as if the
"red hot" method isn't. There are drill bits long enough to do the job.
The price of a few of those grade 8 bolts.
Where I worked they had a method of burning? broken taps or bolts out of
parts when they broke off down in a part or die. I never saw how they did
it, but know there is a way. I don't know how deep a hole it would work
in. I don't know it that method could burn the key out. Can you see the
front end of the key-way or is the movable jaw too close? If you could get
the key removed, then there might be hope for a solvent to get to the
bore.

I will second the diesel fuel you can
heat the vice up to about 250 -300 before submerging it that may help it
penetrate . also set it in a hot location as raised temperatures will thin
out the diesel and aid penitration. Terry

I'm with Franz. Try the diesel fuel
before drilling or heating.
I've heard that Kroil was good stuff.
I've also seen some amazing results from PB magnetic penetrating catalyst.
I got it at Wall Mart. I've seen this stuff climb into threads rusty
threads and loosen stuck bolts in a matter of seconds.
