jerry, since this is a Farmall A engine separate the engine from the rest of the tractor and get it on an engine stand. 1 get all non essential components off it. remove oil pan, unbutton the mains and rod caps, remove crank. 2 spin engine right side up, roll engine stand out side. keep all flammables away from the immediate area. 3 on the cylinder with the most volume fill with Diesel add a splash of gas, set it on fire. Now drink a cup of coffee or adult beverage till it burns out. Now take a large 4x4 block and 4 or 5 lb sledge hammer hit the piston to move it a little, if it moves easily, wet the cylinder walls with oil, spin the engine back over, drive the piston out through the top of the engine. 4 repeat with the piston that has the next largest volume. And so on, and so forth. **Note as the volume decreases so does the burn time, so a 2nd or 3rd or 4th etc, etc may be needed to break the pistons loose. This method will enable you to save the pistons if they are not too rusted, and if the cylinder is not pitted, then a honing will work and they can be saved too, only needed new rings This method is the safest, & fastest method I know of. just be careful with the fuel cans you have nearby. Hope this helps.Holler at me if you like, my #512-577-3837. Later, John A.
