Pretend Farmer The method you described is a tried and true method that will work, Especially when time is of No Consequence! On any internal combustion engine that is going to set for a while before You get to it. Fill the cylinder with with ATF and Acetone and let it set. There is nothing to loose, time is non your side here. But You have the weekend to get something going then the Fire method is tried and true. It works easiest if the engine is out and on a motor stand! But will work inframe style too! +++++++++++++++++++ This way will get your tractor Unstuck in 1 afternoon...... 1- remove all sheet-metal, fuel tank, radiator, any combustibles off the tractor and away from work area. 2- Remove head,Dist. cap and wires, pan, oil pump, Remove & # rod caps. Roll tractor outside of shop, and recheck to make sure there is nothing Flammable close by. ****- Usually when an engine is stuck there are 1 or 2 pistons stuck, but sometimes more depending on length of time the tractor sat up. ***Note...1 cylinder at a time!*** 3- Start with the cylinder with the most volume!! fill with Dsl, add a splash of gas, Set that cylinder on fire(go drink a cup of Coffee or a coke) and let it burn itself out. If the piston doesn't free up after the first fire,, Refire the cylinder as many times as needed. Then drive that piston out from the Bottom > up. 4- after previous piston is out move your attention the the next piston with next most volume....Repeat #3 as many times as necessary till that piston frees up and move on to the next cylinder. Repeat till all piston are out. This method will usually save the piston and cylinder, at least to see if it is salvageable If your tractor is a parade use then a few pits may be OK, and save you a bigger rebuild where a clean up and re-ballhone the cylinder may keep you going. Hope this helps. Later, John A.
