Flaw with unfreezing stuck engine with hydraulics

Posted by Bob in SE Nebraska on April 21, 2002 at 09:35:16 from (162.40.71.62):

I have just finished tearing down my super m engine that was stuck. The method of breaking the engine loose by attaching a hydraulic hose to spark plug holes and forcing hydraulic fluid into the cylynder had been used. This method actually did work but I noticed a pretty loud knock when the tractor was started. After tearing down the engine, I found it had one very bent rod. I just wanted to let everyone know that this can happen.

This is the third stuck tractor engine that I have had to deal with and I am convinced that the process of tearing down the engine and starting over is by far the best way to go. All kinds of methods have been brought up about how to free a stuck engine and I know that in some cases those methods do work. I just wanted to say that some very bad things can happen inside that engine when a teardown isn't done to fix the problem. Lucky for me the damage isn't too bad and with some parts I can bring my tractor back to life.

Sorry for the long post but I thought it may help someone avoid costly problems.
