Each tractor I like to take apart and see everything to know what I have. I always pop the head and oil pan off for a stuck engine. Many have freed an engine and ran it without ever taking the head off. I have a hard time with that myself, and worry of trashing sleeves, pistons and rings with all of that rust and gunk in the cylinder walls. I clean the top part of the cylinders, soak and then clean some more. I repeat that process many times untill she comes free with a little force. The engine I have pictured came loose by hand after I repeated the process. I use everything from diesel, transmission fluid, to seafoam and even heat at times. Then at a minimum I hone the sleeves, clean pistons and replace rings. On wet sleeve engines I remove the sleeves and clean the internal engine block and then replace the rubber sealing rings for the sleeves. The engine pictured had a cracked sleeve due to water damage. You just never know what you will find. Never get in a hurry and take your time.
