i have done tons of research on how to do this. and nothing seems to work so im trying to make something work on my own. i have soaked them for about 2 months. put a bottle jack under all of them and it just lifts the tractor up. i got one out with a ton of pounding with a bid sledge. and i got one most of the way out btu the sleeve is coming with it. the other 2 wont even move from the crank! so im thinking fill them with something flamable, light it on fire ( stand beside with an extinguisher) and it should heat them up and expand the pistons so then when i put out the fire and cool it down a little i could throw some dry ice in there? think it might loosen it at all? i dotn want to split the tractor because i dont really have the stuff to do it or the ability. so what do you think? i know i sound crazy but desperate times call for desperate measures :P
