Dan, is that squeak when you're turning it by hand/screwdiver or on the starter? If it's turning easy with the plugs out, it's moe like a valve stuck shut than one stuck open. When I "saved" by BN, ithad a can over the pipe on the manifold. The head was full of water (which might not be a bad thing, except it wasn't in the water jacket!) as were #1 and #3. #2 and #4 were full, too, except they were so near top thst it wouldn't be fair to call them full, but it gives you an idea how far down the other two were. Rings on them were siezed right to the sleeve. But, like your engine, the bottom end was dry --no water, only some nasty oil. You're better off than than I was, but I'll give you dollars to donuts your problem is gonna be the same as mine only you got to yours earlier than I did mine. I'm suspecting valves stuck shut (either on the seats or in the guides) in the head, and mebbe (I'm still thinkin' about that squeak) that you've got a busted ring or two. Probably more than you bought in for, but not at all unsalvageable for not unreasonable expense, and it can make for a good project. And you'll have a real handy tractor when you're done. I hope you stick with it. Keep us posted.

Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
