I don't know if any body has tried this before but I made a tool for my JD-B tonight. The engine was stuck, its a 1935 B hand start. At 5pm tonight I jacked up the front of the tractor and filled each cylinder with turpentine. I've had oil in them for about a year and it hasn't come loose. At around 7 pm I went out to the shop and took a piece of angle iron and welded two pieces of pipe on it so that they would fit in the holes on the flywheel. Put it on the flywheel and pushed up and pulled down on it and next thing I know it hits the floor the engine is unstuck. Hope this helps others I know it sure did work for me. By the way before I put the turpentine in the engine I pulled it with my ford tractor and all the wheels would do is slide.

I've heard of similar tools like that, and you're lucky that the solvents worked so well so quickly. One caution though- it's a good idea to pull the front cover and remove the tappets and push rods, because they can get bent by loosening the engine.

Well every thing seems to be ok so far, but until I save up the money for a new carb I won't know for sure

That's a pretty good idea.

I tried an old tale I'd heard when I was tearing down my '39 B. I think my tractor had been submerged in a flood at some point, and aside from that the exhaust system had rusted completely off. There was a lot of debris and rust in front of the pistons, making it stuck. Without even knowing that (head and valve cover still on the tractor), I got a 2-liter bottle of Coke on sale for $0.40 and dumped all I could into each spark plug hole. I let it sit overnight, did it again, and also sprayed in some PB Blaster. I took off the head and unbolted the bearing caps from the rods. Next, I unbolted the block and slid it ahead. The pistons slipped right out of the block with no persuasion needed. All the sand and dirt was still in the block, but the rust had been eaten away by the Coke. (And the dentists and doctors say soda is bad for you. Hah!) ;)
