I freed up my JD 420 with hot water. The head was off. I plumbed an old empty 20# propane tank into the bottom of the block using a length of radiator hose. I then filled the block and tank with water and heated the tank with a brush burner torch. You could use anything for a heat source (wood,charcoal, acetylene, etc). Have the tank lower than the motor block so the hot water will rise. Let it boil for a while, let it cool and do it a few more times. I drilled a piece of square tube so the holes lined up with the head- bolt holes in the block across the piston, put some scrap pieces of steel on the piston under the tube and tightened the bolts down. As that piston went down the other came up and I moved the tube/bolts to that one. Don't try to go all the way to the bottom with just one.After back and forth a little a few times the starter will spin it.
