The bad news is I still have 1 stuck piston and the sleeve must be cracked. It has moved about 1/8 inch below the block and is still flush at the top. The frozen piston is almost all the way down. The other 3 are out. I think a torch is the next move to get the frozen piston out. If all fails I will have lots of parts from a 52 Farmall H with live pto and a 9 speed overdrive. The good news is the rod bearings in the motor are standards with IH and 9 51 the date they were made stamped on the back of them.

We use a block of wood,,I put the wood in the cylinder and hit it with a hammer, the wood should just fit inside the sleeve,, I have used this method 8-10 times with no damage to the engine...this is how I do it,,I am not suggesting you try it,,,Jim

I'm with Bob, pull that engine out of the tractor, drop the crankshaft and Hammer away. Usually one to two blows with the sledge and the piston comes out easily.

I have had the same problem several times now. I found the best way to deal with it is to remove the engine and place the block upside down on wood pieces. Then I take a pipe and stick it down into the bottom of the soon to be damaged piston. Using a sledge or large hammer the piston and usually the sleeve will come out. It sounds like a really terrible thing to do but with a new sleeve & piston set you can have a really good working tractor again. Hope this helps, Bob
