I don't think the WD 40 will hurt anything. My dad was an old school mechanic and ran a repair business alongside his farm. He loved a challenge and would buy the toughest looking old tractor to restore...a cent a pound! He unseized well over 50 old relics and got them running again, some he restored to as new. The worst he had without resorting to new piston etc. was a DC 3 Case. Head off, diesel /atf on top of the piston, hammered with a block of wood, jacked up the tractor with the pan off and put the full weight of it against a crankshaft throw by blocking it up. No luck. Finally lit a fire on top of each piston with the diesel atf mix and that freed it up. The worst I had was a 55 MH gas that sat outside for years with no muffler. Water ran in, froze the sleeves open . More water ran in, filled the block and split it apart. I was able to save the crankshaft and head but the rest of the engine was scrap. Hope you do better with yours. Patience is a virtue!

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
