Ive searched online for days and have not found a faucet that looks like mine. I have tried 2 wrenches, but it still will not budge. Can you tell by looking at the photos if it is soldered? I able to get the handle off, but nothing else will come loose. Now in order to get the least amount of leakage the handle has to be turned in an exact position. If I turn it all the way off it will leak ALOT.

You may also be able to find some with tethers (for those of us that constantly lose things like this) .
Woodford Faucet is probably the place to go for the parts breakdown if I can read the handle right. They produce a kit specifically for repair. You'll have to look for better identification, but here's the Model 17 kit (round handle) which probably addresses all the issues.
American MFG that's been around like forever and has always been good about repair kits. You'll recognize their key'd faucets if you've used campsites.

That looks like an early version of a ball valve. To repair it, if you could, you would need to remove the faucet. At that point it would be easier to get a new one to reinstall.
It is a threaded connection on the supply line, possibly 1/2". It will take 2 large pipe wrenches to remove it.
