I might also add that I have no scientific proof that the acetone does anything for the ATF mixture. As for heat and lube, good ole synthetic motor oil might be a good choice, as its igntion temp is about 600 degrees. That's way hotter than you will want to get your aluminum.
 
If the motor has been siting for a very long time and you going to pull it down then put the motor in a drum of diesel for a week or two, have freed up a outboard motor that was seized up from a dunking in saltwater and left to sit for a year let it sit in the drum of diesel for about 4 months, didn't even pull it down just drained the diesel and cleaned it up and it was freed up and still going to this day, the brother in law bought a new motor and I grabbed his seized motor.

Did you run the diesel in your tractor?
 
No but kept it in the drum for cleaning parts, always have a drum of kero and the kero and diesel is a good cleaning degreaser when mixed.

I have not had much luck with using heat to remove frozen steel fasteners from aluminum. The bolts will come out usually destroying the thread in the process. The heat burns out any penetrant used.

Heat 1st then penetrant. Spray the penetrant while the parts are still hot "quenching" the parts. Be prepared for lots of smoke and perhaps some flame. Keep spraying until the part is cooled so that the penetrant remains liquid. The penetrant will be sucked in as the metal cools.
