Hi Folks, I have been working on my stuck M. Come to find out that 3 of the cylinders were not stuck but one of them was. It was stuck bad! So I went on and took the head off (what a job) and found that the stuck piston with about 3 1/2" from the top so I poured some rubbing alcohol and a touch of tranny fluid and lite it on fire. Did that 3 times and took my board and a sledge and started tapping on it from the top. It popped free in about 6 hits. After I got it to slide an inch or two I found that there was alot of rust! So I soaked it in some tranny fluid for a little while and started to push it back up. It started to move from the bottom so I kept going and I got up from under it and seen that the sleeve was coming up with it. So I went on a head and pulled the sleeve out and finally got the piston out of the sleeve. Gonna have to replace the sleeve for sure. Now I'm debateing on to get a new piston or just the rings. Now in the other sleeves there is just enough grove to barely catch your fingernail, what would be the suggestion there, do I hone out the sleeves or go big and get the whole rebuild kit? Thanks for the advice, It Helps! Derek

Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
