Try the coke classic I have brought 3 back to life using it will take about 2 liters, Make sure you blow all of the tranny fluid out and pump her full of coke wait 24 hours and give her a yank should come free if not Better pull the head.

Like Nolan said, try vinegar. I freed up a Kohler engine using vinegar, but it can't be the distilled type of vinegar. It must be the "raw" type, according to the man that showed that trick to me.

Typical rust disolving agents. You can save yourself a bunch of money using some vinegar to the same effect. I've freed up locked engines before with it.

Nothing will fix the damage to the cylinder walls. It may be mild, it may be severe.

Have you tried knocking porcilin off spark plug, drill and tap for zerk, fill grease gun with diesel or penitrating oil and pump in each cylinder till you bend gun handle?

I freed up a JD 420 with hot water. The head was off when I bought it. I plumbed an old 20# propane tank into the bottom radiator hose connection in the block with a long length of hose and filled the block and tank with water. I heated the tank and made the water boil several times. The Kroil in the cylinders seeped down around the rings. I then drilled a piece of square tube to match the head bolt holes across the piston that was up, put steel tube pieces (wood squashes) on top of the piston and tightened the bolts down. I used a flap sander wheel to clean the rust off the down piston cylinder walls when things started moving. Put the head back on and ran it. HTH

A guy on here a couple of weeks ago suggested filling the cylinders with coke and letting it soak a couple days.

Well if you have tried to normal stuff and it hasn't worked I would bite the bullet and take the head off. Most likely if has had water sitting on one of more of the pistons and if so most of the time the only way to brake one free like that is a big hammer and crossed fingers that something else isn't broke because of freezeing etc

One other thing that some times works is this. Pull the head off, then with it sitting some place safe to do this. Take and make sure all cylinders are almost full of tranny fluid and add a table spoon of gas to each. Stand back and use a stick etc. to light the gas up. Do that a few times you will need to keep adding gas when it stops burning. What that deos is expands the cylinder/block but not the rings/piston and some times thats enough to pop it free. DON'T do it with the head on or it can explode in your face
