Between El Toro, Indianared and others, you've convinced me to dig into this A. Since it's stuck at the moment and I've got a zillion things to keep up with I think I'll leave the soak going for now, rock the tractor every day or so and see if it'll break loose. "Then," I would have piston movement. After that, (or now I guess), I will take the advice of most of you and pull the head. Should be able to do that over the next few days. If I see a lot of ring-ridge, I'll suspect a bit of cylinder taper anyway.
At the moment I'd like to this in frame so I don't have to split the tractor. I also have to make room inside a building which I'll have to do anyway.
The link to the rebuild kits I appreciate as, for some reason, I had not looked there. I wonder if all that stuff is USA made??
If in frame, that makes it hard to drop the crank, but I suppose I might be able to mic it...
I know splitting the tractor and pulling the engine would be better.....I'll see how my optimism runs for that.
Next on this forum I'll post a new thread for what I find. This is dropping behind a lot anyway. I appreciate all the comments, I'm going to put them all in a Word doc. to save them.

This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
