Im at the point now where I have yet to be able to free up the pistons,although Ive only had them soaking about a month or so now.I have had the head rebuilt,only to make sure it was good before I went any further.I can sell the head now for 800 which gets all my money back in it and the tractor,but have wanted this tractor for many years now,since I found it back in 90 and my buddy bought it and got scared as I am now.I can get the sleeves and all,but would like to save the pistons.,and I dont want to pull the engine until I can get the pistons out,or at the least loose so Ill know it can be rebuilt.I am also worrying now over the injectors and the pump as I understand it can cost upwards of 1500 for those to be rebuilt.My questions are:Does anyone have a way I could get the sleeve and pistons oput at the same time,I hope to be able to gt a first class machinist brother of mine to put the on the horizntal band saw and hopefully cut the sleeve of of the piston.,if I can get the whole thing out.Second question,is there anyway I can bench test the pump to see if its ok.I understand itll be better if I have it professionally done,but at this point,I dont want to spend any more than I have to.I thnk you for your opinions and advice.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
