Hi Pedro, If you have the head and oil pan removed, pour some automatic transmission fluid
over the pistons and let soak for several days.
Remove the rod caps and the rod bolts too unless they're using studs.

Use a piece of 2X2 oak or maple wood
to drive and drive the pistons out. Be careful not to damage the machined surface of the crankshaft. The sleeves may also come out of the block. If that happens you can put heat on the sleeves to remove the pistons.

I restored a Farmall A and it had stuck pistons too. That is how I removed the pistons and the wet sleeves came out on several of the cylinders.

I put everything new ithe engine except for the crankshaft. I just had it polished and used .002" undersize bearings. It ran like a new on one. I don't think the oil was ever changed in this tractor. As soon as I got it running, I plowed my garden with the 16-inch plow that came with the tractor.

Take a little patience to drive those pistons out. Good Luck, Hal
