If you retightened loose bolts around the stuck bolt it can ease pressure on it. Hammering on the bolt can help too. This is the most extreme car restoration I have seen. I admire you for it and look forward to a remarkable recovery.
Just found your vids... already watched episode 1 and I have a 1926 Model T Ford Coup restored by my late father in a shed. I cringed watching you break head bolts lose with a 3/8" ratchet and snipe... I'm sure you must own a breaker bar? Good vid just the same.👍
I think if it was me, i would turn it back into a Model T car, or truck, there is so little of the tractor left, and what there is is not much good anyway, looks to me as though an engine rebuild is needed, bores look Rusty, no point in Forcing it turn over, that would break something. The head probably has a higher compression ratio, they were only 5--6 to 1 compression, the Model A was basically the same engine with higher compression 40hp instead 20 for the Model T.

Don’t you have 1/2 in drive set?
Giant Power what more could you ask for

Haibe Giant Power head, about 5/1 compression ratio.

Yup, in later videos, it gets stripped down and I buy a body that will go on it.
