Tyler, you didn't get a lot of response because you have done everything that any of us would have suggested. Don't try to turn the engine, but try to rock it back and forth so that if it does break free you can work the rust and corrosion up and down and eventually get it to the top. I have heard of jacking the rear of the tractor off of the ground and working the wheels back and forth eventually getting some movement in the pistons. Keep the penetrating oil on the pistons. My guess is that you had a good tight engine to begin with and hopefully you will get it free and it will not need a lot of work. There are lots of different penetrating fluids on the market, you may have to try a few. As for pounding on the pistons, don't over do it, you don't want rod damage, but a good jar will help. My best advice to you is to be patient, it took 5 years for the tractor to sieze up so a few weeks or months of penetrating oil is not out of reality. My son in law unsiezed a Massey 30 by soaking it with penetrating oil every time he walked by it and after about 6 months he rocked the rear wheel back and forth and it came loose...he had to put one new piston and a set of rings in it and it purrs..so patience, pennetrating oil and lots of luck...let us know how you make out.....Mike in Exeter Ontario

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
