I used dextron on a Farmall A that had the head and pan removed when I bought it. The cylinders were very rusty and I couldn't get the engine free
so I pulled the engine and used a piece of 2 X 2 maple to drive on the rods. One piston came out
and the other 3 came out with the sleeves. I used
a torch to heat the sleeves and the other pistons came out very easily. I think what "old" suggested using gas or diesel fuel to heat up the cylinders will work, but be careful and do not have anything flammable near the engine. Do it outside too.

Someone posted yesterday saying he had used Rust Check to free up an engine. Be careful around that crankshaft so you do not damage it with the hammer. We had a 10-20 when
I was a kid and it was bought in 1926 before I was born. They had a Fordson before that and my dad could never get it started. I don't remember when that 10-20 wouldn't start. Hal
