I used ATF back in 1975 on a Farmall A that was stuck. I pulled the engine as the head was already off the engine. I used a piece of 2 X 2 oak and a big hammer and tapped on a connecting rod after removing the cap. Two of the pistons came out with the sleeves and the other two just the pistons came out. Since they're wet sleeves they were easy to remove and I used a torch to heat the sleeves and then the pistons were easily removed. I used a steam jenny on the engine block.
