linemanfarmer, IMO one week of soaking is just not long ennough. I take it that you want to get it up and going fairly quickly. I would have soaked te cylinders for at least 1 month before messing with it. But anyway thats another topic.
So for now remove from the tractor and immediate area the fuel tank and any other combustiables! next roll the tractor outside!
Fill the stuck cylinder with DSL, then pour in a splash of gas then set the mixture on fire! and let it burn it's self out, Hopefully the piston isn't at the top, more toward the bottom of the stroke. So there is a goodly amt of DSL to burn. it will heat the cylinder up enough, and break down the rust so the piston can be driven out. If te piston is more near the top then you may have to do it a few times to build upenougt heat to do any good. Hope this helps.
Later,
John A.
