I was wondering if anyone has a foolproof way of getting pistons unstuck? I have been soaking for 2 months with PB Blaster, but to no avail. Other three cylinder walls seem to be in real good shape. Pistons and rings as well.

i'm surprised no one has answered your inquiry as there are most likely as many methods for getting a piston unstuck as there are tractors with them. I have tried many different "recipies" which include a vaiety of penetrating oils, brake fluid, trans oil, marvel mystery oil, even olive oil and diesel fuel. I have also tried combinations of many. Some guys heat the "recipe" first, (be careful) and pour in cylinder hot. I can only say, that there are many different penetrants you can try, if you find one that works, well, it will be the best. Good luck! "Yankee Don"

How do you remove a stuck piston? Here is the answer:
Get a pice of 1/2 inch Aluminum plate at least 1 1/2 inches larger than the bolt pattern on your cylinder head. Drill the plate to fit your bolt pattern. In the center drill a hole for a standard grease "Zert" fitting.
Also drill and tap a hole for a 1/4 inch petthingy. Make a gasket from standard 1/16 inch gasket stock. Cut holes in the gasket to accomidate all of the bolts and fittings.
Next: Fill the cylinder with grease level to the top.
Put the gasket over the grease and make sure
it lines up with the holes in the aluminum plate.
Slide the plate on and bolt it down tight. Note:
you may need to buy some shorter head bolts
so you don't bottom out. Grab your grease gun
and pump the piston down. It will move very
easily and should come right out.
On twin cylinders it works the same way. Just
make sure that you clean as much rust off as you
can and lube up the cylinder wall. Good Luck!!!
