GREAT VIDEO 😮 BUT that is not how to do it ! YOU TAKE THE HEAD OFF and use EVAPORUST and hone the cylinders !!! You are gonna have to do it any way to get the valves done . You work to hard at doing it the wrong way. 🥵
We have an LA here that had a stuck motor when we got it. We freed it up by making an adapter to thread in place of a spark plug to hook a grease gun up and pump it up. It took some work, but it did the job!
At least you are persistent. In a case like this I have had good luck heating the whole block/pistons with a heat gun in the water inlet to the block. On a recent one I insulated the block and let it cook up to 250 degrees F. After that cycle and cooled back down I was able to break it free with force. The tractor runs great now.
l soaked an engine free. it is a one cylinder marine engine. i had it in the cellar next to the boiler. it took 17 years. i had a steam car come to the farm for repairs. it too was stuck. i used the hydraulic system that you did and it came free. i agree with everything that you are doing. my advise... loosen the rod caps and see which piston is stuck. work one at a time. be certain you are not fighting a bearing. my best wishes, and thank you for preserving our farming heritage. i wish i could help you more.
This was my dad's tractor. I just posted the video of when we pulled it to the sale. Glad to see what your doing with it !
Way to stick with it.
hot water in the block
mAN YOU GOT SOME PATIENCE
I’m shouting at the screen…”take the rocker cover off and check for a stuck valve!” … etc 😅😂

A ounce of persistence is worth more than a pound of talent.
Nice work! Most people would have given up after a couple of days. Looking forward to seeing it run again!
Excellent Video. 👍👍👍. Better than a lot of crap on TV.

Amazing the way you did that. Farmers are the best engineers!
This is a good example on how not to break a seized engine loose
Gives new meaning to stubbornness. Well done.
Beeing persistent, calm and tolerant we can win any situation, i admire those people.
