You need to get a manual to get the specifications. I&T manuals are good if you have mechanical experience or have someone to help you.
You can use a ring at various levels of a sleeve to estimate sleeve wear but it is best to have a micrometer to determine if the sleeves are within specification. If they are they don"t need to be changed. If they are close, I would not change them. Rings and head gaskets are really cheap.
Same with rod and main bearings. You need to know how to use plastigage and get the bearing clearance measured so you can decide whether you need new bearings or to have the crank worked on.
You"ll get lot"s of good advice here, and you"ll notice I am in the minority on this subject but I think it is important for you to understand you can succeed without spending $1,500 to $3,500 to make the tractor useable. Some engines are truly worn out but some just need rings and maybe bearings. They turn so slow if you keep oil in them they will last a long time.
