Super M....it's not the head gasket

Hey guys. Failed a pre-calc exam on Thursday so I decided to dedicate the afternoon (if that's what you call working outside with a treble light and a yard light until midnight) tearing apart my most recently purchased Super M. Broke a sweat in the 40 degree heat trying to get that pan off. Anyway, took the oil pan off, flushed the radiator, inspected carb, waited for all old oils and bad gas and water to stop dripping and I got under the tractor. Everything looked okay, sleeves look okay at first glance, but I found an obvious crack in my number three cylinder. I bout wanted to cry. I knew I had to remove the head regardless, but now it's a little more serious. Can I replace the sleeve without needing to replace the other three? Does anyone know where I can get sleeves n such? What kind of equipment do I need to pull a sleeve? I am not afraid of tackling the project, actually looking forward to it, but it will be my first in depth cylinder work. Thanks for your help.
