I think OLDs idea about heating it up would probly do it.If you had a piece of flat metal you could throw over the cylinder to stop the fire once you got it warmed up.The part I like is that the pistons dont get hot.You would want to be careful and not set the shed on fire,that could get it too hot.The pocket knife idea on the rust going around the cylinder,never up and down the cylinder would maybe do about as good as anything.If you dont find or dont get your hands on a ridge cutter you have to take that carbon out with sandpaper at least.You stand a good chance of breaking a ring or piston land if you dont get that carbon out.The only real good way is with a ridge cutter.That idea with a hone that has a bunch of balls on it is not too good,but a hone that has stones might be a little better.Then again if you dont know a lot about it you can tear up a bunch of stones in a hurry.Whatever you do,you need to clean as much grit as you can possibly get out before you turn over the moter.Grit is bad for you.Maybe get a roll of paper towels and squirt penetrating oil in there and wipe it out 3 or 4 times until you dont wipe much out.Then put a little oil on a paper towel and wipe it on the walls then try and turn it.Get it that clean before you light it and if it turns you will be in better shape.Watch when it turns and if theres a bunch of crud where the piston was,and there will be,clean that out of there before you run the rings across it.

I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. 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
