black, This old trick will work when most won't and you are going to tear the engine down anyway. 1-Remove all tin work, fuel tank- store away from tractor, 2-Remove Head, Pan, Oil pump, Remove & # all Rod caps. 3-Roll tractor outside, remove all flammables from immediate area. 4- one piston at a time try to remove the piston from the cleanest sleeve by tapping them up. If one or two move get them out that is great if not then......... 5- the piston with the most volume, fill with Diesel, add a splash of gas, set it on fire. Get a cup of coffee or a cold drink and be at ease while it burns itself out, Then drive it out from the bottom up. 6- repeat on the piston with the next most volume and so on, and on! As the volume gets smaller so does the burn time then a 2nd, or 3rd, or 4th or 5th application may be needed, This method will allow you to save the pistons and probably the sleeves it they are not pitted. At least you can have the option to save what you can, by not destroying everything. I will bet that since that tractor has been in the barn for over 25 yrs, there was a problem with it that needed attention and just wasn't gotten around too. Either he got another tractor to do this ones work or just never got around to fixing it. Hope this helps! Later, John A.
