I just aquired a '53 Super H. It has NOT been taken care of. It has been outside for about 10 years without any effort to keep water out of the engine. I am in the proccess of removing the head. I have everything removed, but the head won't come off. The pistons are siezed also. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to tear this engine down. Thanks. This tractor was my Dad's and was in very good condition when he sold it.

Had a stuck head on a super A I was tearing down for a buddy. I sprayed around where the head meets the block with PB Blaster, and then tapped it every which way with my dead blow hammer. It came lose fairly easy. Man, what a mess that thing was!!!! Each piston has at least a cup-cup & 1/2 of water on it. When I drained the oilpan, must've been 5-6 quarts of pure water. UG!!!!

I've had various types of heads stuck, and I can tell you what I personally do. After trying every gentle method, I take a cold chisel and hammer it between the head and block on one front corner to break the head loose. I just do the front corner just in case it ever does leak (on a vehicle) I would see it right away. I know, everyone's thinking you'll ruin the mating surface, etc. But I've never had a head gasket leak after doing this. When reassembling, hang the head gasket and spray about 4 or 5 heavy coats of high temperature aluminum spray paint on both sides. An old timer showed me this trick. I've never, ever had any head gaskets leak after doing this entire procedure. Many engines. Auto, motorcycle, tractor, lawnmower, etc. It will work! Good luck.
