I know I'm on the wrong page for an orange tractor but you guys helped me with my 1946 Farmall A. I have been working on my newest project. A 1954 Allis-Chalmers WD45 all original paint, 3 original tires, decals are still visible. I had been parked in a barn since new and I purchased it from the original owners son. The motor is stuck but was running less than 7 years ago. I used a mechanics fiber optic scope to look in the cylinders when I got it and the front and rear cylinders still look almost shiny. The middle two cylinders have a very small line of light rust around the edge of the pistons. They don't look like they have had water standing in them since the top of the pistons look pretty clean like no rust has floated out onto them. I put kroil down the cylinders for the last month. I have tried pulling it around the field with dads tractor but it still hasn't broke loose. I tried rocking it back and forth every day for a couple weeks but still no luck. I put a mark on the crank pulley to see if it moved but it hasn't. I would rather not pull the head if I don't have to since its all original. Can a person use air pressure in the cylinders to break one loose. I know I would have to back off the rocker arms to close the valves. The man I bought the tractor from said his dad never worked the tractor hard. The steering wheel doesn't even have any back lash. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U ... [Read Article]
