I found a farmall regular. It has been sitting outside for 20 years with no can over the exhaust pipe. What do i do to get it unstuck. Explain thoroughly. I am only 13 and this is a little hard yet. Tell me what kind of oil is good to soak the head.Do I put oil in the block and use a block of would and hammer? Thanks in advance.

A friend is restoring a Farmall Super C and has a new wireing harness, but is not sure how it is routed. Where can he find a picture or instructions of how the cable should be properly wired and routed

If you have the head off, by all means clean off the bores, soak for a while and then try to free it. Additionally, if it really well stuck, I would remove the oil pan take off the big end caps and carefully remove the bearings - providing it is fitted with shells - by carefully tapping them around the correct way (and keeping them in their sets)! This will allow you the thickness of the bearing shells to just crack the rust holding the piston without smashing the rod against the journal. Once you can get the easiest two out, by tapping upwards with a piece of wood you may be able to move the crank away from the other pistons as you progress. Hope this helps. Regards RAB

Just don't be in too big a hurry and break something! I had the same problem with a W-9 I bought. Tried lots of things! What worked best for me was taking the rod off the crank, soaking piston a few days with Kerosine, then lit it up, When the fire went out then I used the wood block and hammer. One at a time you can do it!

Hello,

I didn't know if you wanted this all at once, or a little at a time. Do you have the head off the engine?

If you have the head off the engine remove the ridge from the top of the cylinders with a ridge reamer. Then using first sandpaper, and second a deglazing hone in a drill remove rust from the cylinders, vacuum the powdered rust out. This is so that while you are working on loosening the pistons you won't be working against any extra rust. Then you can fill the cylinders with a few cups of penetrating oil in each cylinder and let it soak, and pound on each one a few times to see if they move. You might also have to sand rust from the cylinders from below the pistons. This will be a gradual proess, and can take days of soaking and hammering. Use a piece of wood on the piston and hammer on the wood to get the pistons moving. It might even help the penetrating oil to soak through better if you drain the water from the water jacket and fill the water jacket with boiling water while you are pounding. This will cause the cylinders to expand for a while and give more room for the penetrating oil to flow through, and will give more room for the rust that is between the pistons and cylinders to be able to roll and slide. If you are in freezing weather you will have to remove the water when you are done so it doesn't freeze.

Boy, I'll bet the 13 year-old is really excited about tackling that one now! You scared the heck out of me with that rocket-scientist explanation, and I'm 43. Just pull the head, soak the cylinders for a few days, and tap the top of the pistons with a block of wood and a hammer. I got mine unstuck within 10 minutes a few months back.
If there are no other mechanical problems, it's really no big deal.

Hey Dennis,
My bad. He DID ask for a thorough explanation, and you gave it to him. Quite well, I might add. Sorry to jump on you like that. I tend to shoot from the hip sometimes. Please accept my apology and keep giving the good advice.
