Pour some diesel on the tracks. Once the rust is broke free it should be ok.

The best application method I have come across is a pump-type garden sprayer or similar. You can set the nozzle to a fine mist and get the diesel right into the gaps between the track links where it will eventually soak into the joints. It may take 2 or 3 applications before all the joints free up.
