Jim, This method will have that piston freed up in relatively short order. 1st...Clear area of all combustibles. 2nd...Remove gas tank from tractor if it is not already off 3rd... roll tractor outside to ensure you do not get the blding on fire 4th...fill the cylinder up to almost full of DSL, add a splash of gas, set mixture on fire. 5th...Drink a cup of coffee, Coke, adult Beverage and let the fire burn itself out. 6th...If the volume of the cylinder is greater than 1/2 the stroke chances are the piston will just move on up as you drive the piston out. If the volume is less than 1/2 the stroke you may need 2,3,4,+ burnings to generate enough heat to pop the rust and let the piston turn loose. This method will usually save the pistons and sleeves if they are not damaged from being stuck or rust pitted. If you have questions hollar at me tomorrow @.512-577-3837.If you want to. Hope this helps. Later, John A.
