koehleraj said: (quoted from post at 14:12:33 01/16/13) I recently purchased a Farmall F30. Upon receipt of the tractor I noticed that it was stuck. Everything else looks fine. I was wondering on methods to get it unstuck. The enigne will be coming apart. Please don't suggest buring the cylinders, as I live in the cities and some of my neighbors are cops (ie chemical burning is illegal in metro limits). I would like to have running by May.
Thanks
50/50 acetone and ATF works but it takes time. If your gonna fill the crankcase with Marvel mystery Oil you will need a barrel of it. Never heard of splitting an F30. You can't remove the crank because it comes out the end of the block and has to be rotated to get the pistons out the bottom, so unless you cut the rods(and I have) it won't come out unless the pistons and rods are out of the way.
The best way to proceed is to remove the engine and take the pan, oil pump, and head off.
Usually not all the pistons are stuck so take the rod caps off (Count and save the shims) and find the culprit. Best way I've seen to remove the stuck one(s) is to turn the block upside down in a hydraulic press. ( Nebraska Kirk has Pictures doing this) Push out the sleeve and piston together, its only got to move a couple inches to be free. Later you can push the piston out to reuse it ( No new ones available) or get a used one. New sleeves can be purchased from Aldersons tractor parts. If the ball bearings are tight and quiet you can leave the crank in the block. Even if the crank looks bad they usually clean up well as the are very resilient.
That should get you started, never know what you'll find but you can save em even when they look like this

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
