I tried everything on a "b" i rebuilt once,brake fluid,atf,mystery oil,deisel,a dozen different penetrants.the one thing that finaly worked after a couple months of struggle was a product called "break free" i bought at a plumbing supply house.i sparayed it down and the next morning i was able to turn engine slightly by hand.once it started moving i simply moved it back and forth until i worked it over tdc on that cyl.then i cleaned it up good and sprayed it again and let it set overnight .i had pounded until i gave out on the top of that piston and it never budged till then. i pulled that one piston,unstuck the rings.reinstalled it set the shims in rod bearings right and fellow is still using it,that was maybe 10-11 years ago.about the only tractor i ever made in any money on i think when i sold it.a got it for hauling it off, and had the price of a gasket set in it when a fellow stopped and wanted to buy it.i told him what the deal was,that i had had just threw it together to pull a trailer.but he offered me more than i could refuse.and in fact called a few weeks back wanting to buy another one just like it!those ac's are tough old tractors.i picked up a bunch of scrap ones( and i do mean scrap from a tractor wrecking yard) and in the piles were the remains of three or four.i cobbled one up out of those that had the front steering from a wc,the engine from a wd45 that had a crack and a patch all the way down the side of the block lenghthwise,and the trans and rearend from a wd.old buddy of mine needed a tractor for mowing so i gave it to him, has ran it for probably 15 years every summer and fall mowing his pastures.guys must have got on to how easy they are to fix because you sure dont see them setting around like you used to around here anymore.
