Murray , get the spark plugs out and get penetrating oil down the cylinders. With the tractor in gear, rock it back and forth this will allow piston movement without pushing the piston all the way through its cycle in a rust an corroded cylinder wall. By moving back and forth the piston will clear its own way through the cycle a bit at a time. Some suggest jacking the rear wheels off of the ground and rocking a rear wheel back and forth.

Hopefully you will be able to take the easy route.Keep us informed on the forum and good luck from Mike in Exeter Ontario
