Guess I'm not sure exactly what your question is - or more specifically the reasoning behind it. Not sure there's enough info to answer accurately.
It's hard to say you should do any work on the pistons because the pressure was low before you took it all apart.
How low is low? And any time you do a compression test, you really should adjust the valves first. at least make sure there's SOME gap when they're closed.
But, the bottom line is that if the tractor has never gotten new pistons/rings, then by default it would be a good idea to change them out.
Whether or not that's neccesary is a totally different question.
What will the tractor be used for/how often?
If money is a concern, and the tractor was running fine and not burning oil, I'd slap it back together and worry about it some other day.
