Seized Horizontal Band Saw

Has anyone come across a seized horizontal band saw where the top frame either is very hard to move or has seized? The pivot rod in mine is seized and won't move. I got the top frame and arm off and I am not sure how tight this rod is supposed to be. It's supposed to move in the ears of the lower body and is just a steel rod (can file easily) through cast iron holes. No bushings or anything (would have been a smart idea). Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks
