No need to split the tractor just yet, split the piston instead. Start by drilling some holes into the top of the piston. The holes need to be close to the outside edge of the piston, but not right at the edge. Once you get a large enough hole, then insert a hack saw blade down through the hole and begin cutting your way over to the edge. It will be a slow process. You need to cut all the way through the skirt of the piston, but be careful to NOT cut into the sleeve, or at least do not go through the sleeve. You may find it necessary to make a second cut in order to take a "wedge" out of the piston. The piston rings will be next to impossible to cut through, so you might need to do a little gentle "breaking" of things, but do be careful that you don't attempt to pry against the cylinder wall as you can easily break a hole into the wall, and then you will have scrap iron.
