there will probably be quite a few different methods people use here. most work most of the time.sometimes they dont.i would keep soaking the pistons in atf as long as its in there. for the headbolts on the cub, get some penetrating oil on them everyday. kroil, pb blaster, liquid wrench, whatever is handy. i prefer to start slow and then get more aggressive. i would start by soaking and tapping the headbolts with a brass head hammmer, couple whacks on each one, then spray em. maybe a week or so. then go to a 3/8 drive impact on low power. give each bolt a quick shot to tighten, the try and loosen. you want to try and get some oil down in the threads and release any rust bonds first before trying to get em out. i like to refer to it as scare-ing the bolt a little. rattle each one back and forth, then let em sit a day , try again. end of the week , open the power up on the impact and see if they will come out. if not, go to a 1/2 drive impact, and try again. you can try and warm them some with a propane torch too. save the acetylene torch if they break off. to try and break the pistons loose, either try bumping the starter or put the starting crank on and hang 50-75 lbs of weight on it so it applys steady pressure to the crankshaft. rocking the back wheel in 4th gear by hand is another option.
