Got the pistons out of the block, only one intact and two intact sleeves, no cracks in the block(yet) I need to get the lifters and cam out. They are stuck tight. cam will move a little back and forth but not rotate. can't remove the cam because the lifters are stuck. Any suggestions on how to remove them without breaking the block, heat, pounding etc?

Been around this engine type a lot, have never seen one stick the lifters, is it rusted, soak it with penetrate for 24 hours, other wise just use your judgement and hammer the lifters out carefully.

We've been soaking it, we used a little heat on it and pounded on it. It is kind of hard to get a good whack at it because the cam is in the way. It wouldn't be near as bad if we could get the cam out. but the way the lifters are sitting you can't move it much.

Bought the tractor for $450, it had be sitting for at least 15 years out in the weather. with no can on the muffer, it was rusted off completly. The cylinders were full of rust and crud and the valves were stuck to. Two of the lift rods broke off in the lifters when I was removing them, took the cover off and it was pretty full of rust. Like I said in a previous post I got the cylinders out and have the block at the shop right now trying to get the lifters and cam out. Believe it or not the rearend had no water in it when I drained the oil out.
