mmack,Burn it out! This method will get the job done in one afternoon. Follow my direction here. 1..Remove all, hood gas-tank, nose cowel, and radiator, Head and all wiring harness. Pan, oilpump, and rod caps. Have the tractor where you can roll it outside, CLEAR AREA OF GAS CANs, GREASE RAGS AND ALL FLAMMABLE THINGS! tractor is now outside. 2..fill the cylinder with the most volume with Diesel add a splash of Gas, Set it on fire. Go get a cup of coffee and enjoy till the fire has burnt itself out. Take a block and a 4 lb sledge and drive the piston out from the bottom. 3.. repeat #2 on the next 3 pistons with the most volume. As you work your way down to the cylinders with the least volume the #of burning will go up to generate enough heat to pop the rust around the rings. This method will allow you to at least inspect the piston and sleeve to see if they are salvageable. ***The first two usually go pretty quick the last 2 take a little longer. ***If motor is on a engine stand you can rotate the engine over for easier driving of the block. Hope this helps! Later, John A.

This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
