I've read many many methods for unsticking the old engines on here. Some of them border on insanity to me, but they must have worked for someone. I agree that this is something that needs to be done with as little force as necessary to achieve success. In this case, traction is such a severe problem, I doubt this machine can even be pull started even if it wasn't stuck, on its wide slick steel wheels.

As far as the jacking solution I speak of, its more of a matter of applying a little pressure and let time work on it. Over a little time you can add a little pressure and ease 'em out. By doing it on each individual rod, you're applying force only to the one cylinder rather than all 4 thru the crank. A fellow tractor fiend of mine has used this method very successfully several times.

Worst case scenario..... hunt down a couple of runable sleeves and pistons. If I have to, I'll sacrifice a rough but running H for its engine. Bottom line is this machine somehow WILL live again.
