[AT] Stuck clutch JD 60

[charlie hill]

Oil would be better anyway because if you used grease it would need to be 
cleaned out of the head and upper cylinder.   An oil transfer pump of some 
sort or an old furnace pump might even work better.  As long as the pressure 
didn't exceed normal cylinder pressure it shouldn't hurt anything.   For 
that matter you could fill the cyl. with oil and put air pressure on top of 
it as long as the air input port was above the top of the cylinder.
