Powermax mower deck bars rusted

Guys is it just the machines I drag home or does everyone have bound up adjuster threads in the clevis end of the deck adjuster bars? The last go round with these I heated the bar so much it felt like it was going to twist before the treads broke free. Any ideas to make this job easier? I need to get the front of the blades up a little.

Don't heat the bar with the threads on it. Only heat the nut/turnbuckle. It is to easy to put a permanent twist to the bar if it get cherry red and you go to turn the lock nut and adjusters.

Heat is about the only way to get these parts freed up.
