This may be off the wall, but I have done this numerous times in my 24 yrs of age and have had tractors free within an hour. Take the valve cover off and try to make sure all your valves are shut. Take a 3/8" or 1/2" (can't remember) piece of pipe and screw a female hydraulic coupling on one end of it and put the other end of the pipe in the spark plug hole. Attach a regular hydraulic hose to a running tractor. Run your hydraulics gently and you will feel the pump kick in and then ease up. I have only had to do that (give it a few hits at low rpms) a max of 4 times and then move to the next cylinder. Yes it was scary the first time I did it but I its logic that the oil is pushed past the rings, therefore loosening the cylinder. Of course, since the tractors that I did were stuck, I did replace the rings afterwards for safe measure. Once all 4 cylinders were attended to, I took a hand crank and rotated it until almost all, if not all, the hyd. oil had come out. Of course, with like everything, "what is good for the goose may not be good for the gander." We in my family have had good luck with this method, but others may have a different opinion. But that's what's great about our country, everyone can have one (an opinion). No matter what, good luck with yoru project. I'll have to get me some of that stuff the others are talking about anyway. :)
