Congrats on getting the block off and keep soaking and hit it each day with a block and soon they wll break loose . Watch for the penetrate to drip thru the cylinders and it wont be long til they come loose and on to the next problem.

David-----

Keep the posts and pictures coming on the progress of your 50. Although I haven�t offered any help (you�re in more capable hands already), I�ve followed your progress from the start. With Frank and Clyde pretty much wrapping up their projects you were very timely with the start of your posts. Remember, everything that you are facing, the rest of us either have faced or will face, sometime. I�ve learned a lot as you moved from one hurdle to another. Best of luck with the old 50. They are such a neat tractor. Can�t wait to see the finished product.

David, I've had pretty good success getting frozen pistons out like this: With the block sitting as it is in your first photo, fill the cylinders almost to the top with brake fluid, diesel, or some other not-too-explosive fuel. Drop a rag into the fuel in each cylinder so just the top of it is sticking out of the fuel, and light it. This will heat up the block real slowly and evenly, and the fuel will soak down and help free the pistons/rings. May take a few days, and a few cycles of heating and cooling, but is a fairly painless way of getting them to loosen a bit. Sure beats trying to just knock 'em out with brute force. Plus those smoking wicks will help keep the skeeters out of the yard.....

Looking good, David. If you have other parts to take apart, and I believe you do, lol, your best bet is to fill those cylinders as far as you can and just let it set. The longer you leave that penetrant in there, the easier it will be to remove the pistons. I would let it sit and give the pistons a little love tap with a big hammer and chunk of wood every so often. It's much easier than killing yourself trying to get them out right away. The crankshaft doesn't look all that bad, either. I would still get it thoroughly checked out by a machine shop, though.

Congratulations!!!! Knew you could do it! Now on to the next step of getting the pistons out.

Which method did you use to get the last rod bolt off?

David, thanks for letting the rest of us share in this "50-shaped piece of rust" endeavor. The only thing I DIDN'T take apart was the block and the transmission on my 50. Yours is definitely a lot rougher project as mine was a fully-functioning tractor when I started taking it apart. I'll post a pic of mine soon for inspiration (or exasperation).

Please keep posting your progess and a picture now and then. Your audience is becoming pretty large. We're all relating to you in one way or another.
