Thanks for the tip--it might be worth a try. I'm no stranger to stuck engines, but this one has me baffled. Among the peculiarities of this situation is that the Maytag is a one-piece cylinder and head, so you can't pull the head off. Furthermore, the spark plug hole is at an angle to the piston, so you can't get a straight shot to hit it with a wooden dowel or something similar. Finally, the Maytags are 2-stroke, and the piston is stuck JUST at the point where the exhaust port leaks fluid out of it when I pour it in. It didn't leak originally, which leads me to suspect that one of my concoctions got enough crud loosened up to allow fluid to seep down by the rings, but it's not enough to wedge a screwdriver up in the opening and pry (which I'd be scared of doing anyway on general principles) but enough to not let any pressure-inducing method (grease, air, etc.) work properly. I'm sure I'll get it (or break something....) eventually, but I've been fiddling with this little bugger for 6 months now and I'm no further along.

Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
