Hi Folks, I have been working on my stuck M. Come to find out that 3 of the cylinders were not stuck but one of them was. It was stuck bad! So I went on and took the head off (what a job) and found that the stuck piston with about 3 1/2" from the top so I poured some rubbing alcohol and a touch of tranny fluid and lite it on fire. Did that 3 times and took my board and a sledge and started tapping on it from the top. It popped free in about 6 hits. After I got it to slide an inch or two I found that there was alot of rust! So I soaked it in some tranny fluid for a little while and started to push it back up. It started to move from the bottom so I kept going and I got up from under it and seen that the sleeve was coming up with it. So I went on a head and pulled the sleeve out and finally got the piston out of the sleeve. Gonna have to replace the sleeve for sure. Now I'm debateing on to get a new piston or just the rings.
Now in the other sleeves there is just enough grove to barely catch your fingernail, what would be the suggestion there, do I hone out the sleeves or go big and get the whole rebuild kit? Thanks for the advice, It Helps!
Derek

12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
