Hi Curtis, I had the same problem on a Farmall A that was seized. I used automatic transmission fluid. They were still hard to remove. I used a 2X2 oak to drive them out. Several pistons can out with the sleeves. To get out the remaining sleeves I had apiece of alumium round stock under cut on a lathe to fit the sleeve. I then use the 2X2 to drive out the sleeve. I pulled the engine off the tractor so I would be able to steam clean the block. Use can use tygon tubing over the rod bolts so you don't damage the crankshaft. Some of the people that write in on here have used coke and brake fluid. Take your time and try all of these. I used a torch to heat the sleeves on the pistons that came out together. I only needed the connecting rods since I was installing a new sleeve kit. If the sleeves move a little with the pistons, keep squirting any of those items over the edges of the sleeve. We had a saying when using that torch "come or bleed". I had to pull the crankshaft too, since it had to be machined. I got away with just having it polished and using .002" under size bearings on the mains and rods. If the rod bolts are removable I'd remove them. What tractor is this? Good Luck, Hal
