If the head is off, there were problems with the motor. It is possible that it just had a broken valve spring, but my guess is that the motor is worn out.

Get a set of manuals and work on getting the sleeves out. The rings and sleeves are probably shot. If you are not going to reuse the pistons, drive them out, or break them, and remove the sleeves. If you are lucky, the pistons will take the sleeves with them when you drive them out the top. Check the crank for wear. Get out your checkbook and have at it.

If you are intent on keeping the tractor original as possible, you will have to free up the pistons and see if you can find rings and sleeves.

These are great old tractors. They are easy to work on. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined, it will be fun.
