I would pull the head and remove all the water from the top of the pistons. If there's a lot of rust in the cylinders I would run a cylinder hone
into each cylinder to remove the rust. Then pour
ATF into each cylinder and let it soak. If all the wheel rocking and starter bumping doesn't free the pistons I would drain the oil and remove the oil pan and loosen all the bearing caps. I would remove one of the rod caps and use a piece of 2X2 oak and a big hammer and tap on that rod to drive out the piston. I did this on an A Farmall, but I pulled the engine and I had the pistons out the same day I got the tractor. Several pistons came out with the sleeves. Some heat from a torch freed the pistons from the sleeves. I only needed the old rods for a new sleeve kit. The crankshaft didn't look too great. but it only needed to be polished and needed .002" undersize bearings. Here's a picture
of the A taken in 1976. Hal
