Mike, I must question your defination of violence! When one breaks out the 4x4 block, a 5 lb sledge hammer and cheisel and the piston starts comming out in pieces is the violent approach IMO. I an taking about simple disassembly of an engine, and overcoming the stuck pistons with heat/fire. I have seen engines that have been stuck for yrs taken completely apart in an afternoon with this method and the pistons were reusable after it was done. Depending on the amount of water that was in the engine and how long and often it sat in water. Simply Rering the pistons and Hoan the liners if they weren't rust pitted, would have worked on a few but it is still better to know than to guess on the internal condition of the engine. My premise is there is usually a reason the tractor was parked to begin with and the engine later stuck and the tractor finally was abandoned is some fence row. So the engine needs to come apart and be looked at! Later, John A.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
