stuck motor

I enjoy reading the stuck motor threads. I get a kick out all the just soak it in oil a few days & use a pry to turn it over. I must work on a lower class of junk maybe 1 out of 10 I work on that works. This is from a 27 JD D I removed the block & pistons as a unit. I sandblasted the built up rust from above & below the pistons. Lets just say it was most of what my 120 ton press wanted to do to push them out. I wonder how long I would have had to soak these? I wreckedm I"d need a pretty long pry bar too><~

If mine don't respond to the soaking I start looking elsewhere for a candidate tractor.

Bravo for your perseverence and injenuity.

As I said it took a pretty hard push to get them out I had a half inch steel plate on top of the piston I used a 4x4 on top of that . It pushed so hard it bent the steel plate down in the middle & took the top of the piston out
