This isn"t strictly a Farmall question - the cylinder is who-knows-what - but it"s mounted on an H.
The cylinder froze up and wouldn"t extend so I switched the hose and breather and was then able to force the rod back out. Pushing the rod back in by hand, I felt some metal-on-metal scraping towards the bottom of its travel so, something"s messed up in there.
I need to disassemble this to find out but I"m not sure how to go about it. The included images show it has one of those wires running around the outside of the top plate. A friend of mine and I (who are used to the cylinders which disassemble this way) tried forcing the top plate down with a clamp and by whacking on it with a block of wood and a five-pound hammer. It didn"t budge. Do I just need to hook a thin cold chisel under the end of the wire and then just continue working that or a flathead screwdriver around to pry it out that way?
This is the first time I"m attempting to upload a series of pictures so, you may need to bear with me until I get it right.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
