take off the oil pan , put a bottle jack on top of stack of wood blocks and lightly lift it some , take off the cylinder head,check the condition of the cylinder walls, hone any rust out, set a big bearing race or something to even out the force that you are about to unleash, first try a hard wood block and a sledge , then a steel axle or what ever (ours is 2"dia and 13 "long).....it's important to measure from the top of the block to the top of the piston so you can stop and regroup and decide if you need coffee, when it moves a little you will know, if you want to go the other way , change the jack to another location on the crankshaft (don't jack up the tractor on the connecting rod) this method works,and it ain't for sissys, the H had a broken piston skirt on #2,at the oil ring land, I 've never seen one this stuck
