Alright, I got one of the pistons out of my JD block without a problem. Three months soaking in ATF and a hydraulic shop press had it out easily. The other one is being tough however. It wasn't soaking in ATF because of a giant hole in the cylinder wall. I put the press to it and it popped loose surprisingly. It sounded like a shotgun going off and scared the crap outta me. It moved down the bore about a half inch, but now I can't get it to budge. I think the rust and/or rings are binding against the cylinder wall. The hole in the cylinder might have something to do with it as well. Right now it's sitting in the press with pressure and it's soaking in ATF. Anyone have any tips for this half-stuck piston. BTW, it's from a 1949 John Deere B. Thanks for any help.
