I freed up a John Deere 420 (vertical engine) last year. I bought it stuck. The head was off and the pistons had been covered with Kroil for a while. I plumbed an old 20# propane tank into the bottom hose outlet in the block and filled the tank and block to the top with water. I heated the tank and got the water boiling. I did this several times during a week. The Kroil started seeping down. I then drilled holes in a piece of square tube that I put across the top of the cylinder so that the holes lined up with two head bolts. With scraps of square tube on top of the piston I tightened the bolts and the piston started down. I changed to the other piston before it bottomed and before long I had it spinning with the starter. I used wood blocks at first but they squashed. HTH
