harold,
This method will work every time , best done with engine out of the tractor on an Engine stand, but inframe is OK too.
usually in 1 afternoon.......
1, Remove all sheet tin, Gas tank, wiring Harness, Valve cover, Head, and Oil pan, Also all rod caps too.
2. check area around tractor and move away any flammable items and liquids.
3. roll tractor outside in the open,
4. Fill the cylinder with the most "volume" with Dsl add just a splash of Gas, set it on fire.
5. Drink a cup of coffee, Coke or Adult beverage while and until the fire burns itself out!
6. When the fire is out take a hammer and oak block and drive the piston out from the bottom going to the top.
7.repeat on the cylinder with the 2nd most volume and so on till all the pistons have come loose. """The fire, expands the cylinder and allows the rust to break loose.""" As the volume decreases you may have to do 2-3-4 or more burnings to generate enough heat to pop the rust. Just pay attentions to your surroundings and be very careful.
8. Repeat steps 4-5-6 on each cylinder and you will have an engine freed ed up and loose again. You might be able to salvage the cylinder or pistons if they aren't too rusted up.
Hope this helps!
Later,
John A.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
