Curtis, Yes, in answer to your question that can be done. FIRST. remove all flammable liquids from the area. Then revove fuel tank, from area. If you can roll tractor outside, make the area as open and safe as possible!!! One at a time, put some Diesel in each cylinder, set it fire. let it burn itsef out. Then pound with a oak 4x4 & sledgehammer. The fire puts enough heat at the spot where it is frooze up...at the rings. The cylinder will expand slightly so the piston will move. Be sure once you get movement to keep the cylinder walls lubed with Liquid Wrench,PB Blaster,WD-40, or something else you like, to help the piston to come out and just maybe prevent the old cylinders from scoreing. Good Luck, John A. PS, "Jonesy" here on the board put me on to this technique, It works, He swares by it as the best way he has ever used. John A.
