Hi Greg, I would keep pouring transmission fluid
into those cylinders to see if the pistons will
free up. Since you can move the pistons slightly
I would keep trying to rotate the engine. We had a 10-20 when I was a kid. It was bought before I was born in 1926. It replaced a Fordson that my
late dad couldn't never get started and they kicked like a mule. They had a problem of flipping backwards too. You could probably drive
out those pistons, but it may be difficult to do that if the crankshaft is in the wrong position.
I drove them out of Farmall A that was seized and the sleeve and piston came out together on two
and the other two pistons came out without the sleeves. I pulled the engine off so I could
work on it easily. Those 10-20's were very good tractors and were easy to start. In 1950 we got an H Farmall. I think they sold that 10-20 for $200.00. They should've kept it. Hal
