Henry, Dismaantale the engine as far as possible as possible, then tear down the underside too.
Remove fuel tank and other combustables from the area.
Roll outside.... pour the #1 cylinder full of DSL then just a splash of gas so it will ignite. Then set on fire, let it burn itself out. Then take a wood block and a 4lb sledge hammer and drive it down / or up to get it to break free.
Then repeat the process on each of the other 3 pistons, one at a time.
The fire will cause the cylinder to expand and the heat will help breakup the rust, and some of the DSL will help provide lube to get it moveing.
if one attent doesn't get it done, ....do it again!
Just be safe, keep all combustables away. make sure the flames do not set the barn on fire.
This technique has always worked when done right.
Good Luck,
Later,
John A.
