Been busy so far this winter. Moved metal shed to new home.100 yards or so. Dug out under it for firewood storage. Put in retaining wall / loading dock. Built barn. ( no that's not snow it's marble gravel from local quarry). Got a home and garden show coming up in Feb in Birmingham. We have to design and build a deck for that. 17 years in business gonna try the show see if it brings in new business. We specialize in Trex brand decks. Higher end stuff. Smaller market. Also gotta get the Allis CA unstuck and running. Along with regular work.

To many things and not enough of me any more to do them. I have an RV that I need to pull home and also a 8X12 building I need to load up and bring home. But where I am it has not froze so the top bit of ground is muddy all the time and moving things when the top of the ground is soft is not easy to do
 
Lucky we got the metal shed moved during the drought -also got new driveway gravel in before it started raining again. It's bad muddy and slick now. Hey "Old" if that CA of mine is still stuck (cylinders been full of ATF for 2 months) should I just take sleeves and pistons out of the 2 stuck cylinders?
 
Have you tried the tablespoon of gas in the ATF and then light it up and do tha t2-5 times till the ATF is burned off?? Doing that heats up the sleeve but not the piston so some times that is enough to get the piston to free up. I did that to a MM-RTU which had been locked up for years and it freed up and I never did any thing to it other then that and it ran fine
 
We tried that about 6 weeks ago. Didn't help. Refilled with atf. Then built barn. Moved shed. Split wood. Ect. Lol. Will try again now that tractor is in the barn.
 
Also are you trying to turn it over by hand or are you using the starter?? If by hand a man cannot even come close to applying as much torque as a stater can. Of course depending in where the piston are sitting the sleeve can end up being pushed out of the block BTDT and had that happen on a VAC I was trying to free up
 
Just by hand. Do I just hook up a 12 volt battery? Positive ground? On a 6 volt tractor? OK to hook battery up "wrong"
 
On a starter there is no right or wrong way to hook up a battery. A starter will spin the same way no matter how it is hooked up. Hook up the 12 volt battery and use short fast taps in the starter button. Hit ti and release and at the same time watch the crank shaft for any movement. Any movement is a good thing and if it starts to move keep hitting the starter button till it either spins over or it pushes a sleeve out and if it pushes a sleeve out stop and unbolt the rod and pull the whole assembly out so you can then use a shop press to push the piston out of the sleeve. If you need you can always call me or send me an e-mail for faster and better explaining of thing
 
Thanks. Raining so hard here today I ain't even gonna walk down to the barn. Will hook a battery to it late this week. And I may have to call. Thanks again. And happy new year.
 
As you already know I am always happy to help if and when I can. I do have the JD 1020 I am working on almost to the point of firing it up and hope I do not find a bunch of leaks etc. Total engine rebuild
