36 U timer stuck

[3_7/16bore]

Timer base on my 36 is stuck, and I don't quite understand what holds it all in.
So I ask for wisdom from the board before I break something.

The first U was 1937. Is yours a V? Pictures.

Crap, the machine is a 37, don't know why I wanted to make it one year older.

Yesterday I got the base to move, so it isn't seized but there must be some really thick grease in the moving parts that needs to be washed out.

I suppose that I need to get a service manual

More that likely rust and crud. It is a tight fit.
