Dear Dave, the information so far has "kinda" missed what I said in my post below, these are wet sleeve engines. the sleeves are modestly easy to remove and in no case require welding or a puller. Many of these come out when the crank is rotated, and the pistons move up on somewhat rusty cylinder walls. In many cases they will come out when the rods are disconnected, and the piston is pushed up from the bottom. If the pistons are out, put the wood I mentioned against the bottom of the sleeve and rap it with a mallet. They come out!
The best option would be to put the largest cylinder bore/piston kit in it (you will be replacing the entire cylinder with ones that are slightly thinner, and putting in new pistons, creating a 123 cid engine where a 113 was before. (unless it was already maxed out)
Kits from this site are good.
The crank would only be usable as is ====only==== if just the lightest surface rust was on it. If 000 steel wool and just two passes remove the rust, and if it mics out (across the journals, and around the journals at least 6 to 8 locations per journal) would I leave it in the tractor. To remove it requires the splitting of the tractor it is necessary, not optional. JimN
