i'm working on a 1939 F-14. i had the cylinders full of auto tranny fluid and kerosene for about 10 months. two of the pistons looked good, one had a bit of rust around the edge between the piston and cylinder, and one had a good bit of rust, but wasn't a corroded mess. the engine was quite stuck though. i took all four rod caps off and used a block of wood to knock the two okay-looking pistons out the top of the block. the crank still wouldn't move due to the other two pistons being pretty stuck. i then took a big piece of brass rod (about 1" diameter) and banged on the rod ends. the one piston broke free after a couple of hits and them the wood block got it out the rest of the way. the last piston needed about 5 minutes of banging. granted, i wasn't smashing the hammer into the brass rod, but i was giving it good solid whacks with a medium-sized hammer. if it wasn't for the condition of the last cylinder, i probably could've cleaned things up and got new rings and re-used everything. i just opted for a complete piston and sleeve kit from Rice's though, as it cost about the same as having engine work done and buying new rings. andy b.

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
