STUCK R

Posted by jon barton on December 06, 2012 at 19:03:40 from (68.99.225.196):

i have an R that had a stuck motor. i took it off the tractor and set it on blocks so the cylinders were facing the sky. filled them with water and baking soda and put the negative cable of the battery charger on the block and suspended a piece of metal into the water and hooked the positive cable to it. after three days of electrolysis the pistons pounded out with a 12 lb sledge hammer and the cylinder walls were like new. don"t under estimate what a little voltage can do. i"ve never tried this method to unstick pistons before but it worked great. now i just have to find a gasket set to put it all back together. any suggestions other than a john deere dealer? thanks!
