I take the real stubborn ones off the tractor. I then lay the tube flat on my anvil. Then take a hammer and hit the outside of the tube. Rotate it around while you do this. I DO NOT use any type of spray lube at the first. Any spray lube will bind the rust/dust in the tube. Hitting the tube like I described does two things. One, it knocks the rust loose. Two it stretches the outer tube just a little bit. I blow compresses air around the inter rod after beating on it some. The rust/dust will blow out if left dry. IF you sprayed it with something it will not come out of the inside of the tube.
Then after I have them loose I wire wheel the inter rod and emery wheel the inside of the other tube. I have made extensions for a drill using 1/2 rod rod with 1/4 hole in the end. You can then use emery wheels made for your die grinder in them. When they are clean then never seize the heck out of it. Then when you have it set paint the joint to seal it. Then the inside will rust less the next time.

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
