I am working on a farmall h with one stuck piston.I FEEL YOUR PAIN. This tractor has hod oil in the piston for over a year. I tried to jack the piston up from the bottom, no luck it would just pick up the tractor. as a last resort I called to find what a new piston would cost and I was going to bust it out. The service man said try COKE. ILOVECOKE. I Cleaned out the oil filled the piston with coke. FOUR HOURS LATER with a wooden block and a hyd jack supported by a chain over the top of the jack and attached to the frame Not The Head Bolts the piston broke free on the first try. I must admitt I had a 20 ton jack.It was kill or cure time. I was lucky to have flat top pistons so I didnt worry about crushing the dome of the piston. SOLD ON COKE. Dont know if I want to drink it anymore.
