KB,

Chances are that the block will be cracked behind the sleeve. I bought one about 25 years ago that had bad valve seats, two cracked sleeves, basically the engine was shot except for the crank and rods.

I had a machine shop bore the block and install sleeves that were then bored to accept the replaceable liners. I had the valve seats replaced and valves if needed, did the pump, injectors, radiator, etc, etc, etc. Did the clutch and TA while I had it apart. That was over 4000 hours ago and only problem I’ve had since is a head bolt let go.

You have three choices. Either try to sell it to some other poor soul and get your money back, junk it out, of fix it right. If you bought the tractor to use, if you fix it you will know what you have and chances are you will get many, many hours of service out of it.
