Blackriver, send me an email so I can respond with my cell phone number flemingt@consolidated.net
I'll be happy to talk you through getting the pistons out, and make myself available to answer any other questions you have.
You have to decide a couple of things on this tractor. First off, what do you want to do with it. Work it? Show it? just get it running and putz with it? All have different answers as to how to approach getting this old girl working again............and each has a different price tag.
If I remember your original post, this was your grandfathers, right? I think it is very cool that you want to keep this from the scrap yard. Even if it wasn't a family tractor, I still think it admirable that you want to get it running again.
All the advice you have been given so far works..........but it doesn't fit all the different reasons you may have for working on this. My previous post was to point that out. I love to keep things original and preserve history. That is NOT everyone's desire or intent. That is fine too. I prefer to give people options, and explain each one, so they path they chose is correct for what they want to accomplish.
For any previous posters, I certainly apologize if I have offended you, but I also say "shame on you" for not taking into consideration what Blackriver wants to accomplish here. There are always 2 or more sides to a story, and one usually has more merit than the others. However, the best decision is made when all sides of the story are considered.
