Just my 2 cents as well: We have restored several F-20 from the same shape it sounds like you tractor is in,here is what we did: We put the sleevs and pistons in a press and pressed the pistones out.After they were out we looked both parts over really well and most of the time we put new rings on the pistons and honed the sleeves,not bored but just honed them real good,put it all back together.We have had great luck in doing this,they all have carried GOOD compression( thought I broke my wrist when it kick the crap out of me through the hand crank).We just show ours and parade them,if this is what you intend on doing then alot of compression really isn't needed.Just my 2 cents.
