all depends what your plans are for this tractor. if you want some thing that runs and just as a play thing around the yard that can be running with very little expence. get your self some emery cloth and a flat file and put your elbow grease to it. pull the pistons hone the cyl"s. clean the block deck and if any pits in it use j b weld in them and file flat. as i say its your call , but just saying that a big professional engine job spending thousands of dollars is not nessessary when it will run with a couple hundred dollars worth, and a lot of time spent just in the cleaning up department. i have seen worst that that that i have made run. after all what do you think those soaker engines look like inside after being freed up? the pistons are running up and down in rust scoring the cyl"s more.but this is just a little advice that when you want a stuck engine to run is to take it apart and clean all rust out.
and hey, then you can say that "i made this thing run" and you also have gained experience working on an engine . thats what it is all about and then you gain knowledge for the next round. of course it can use sleeves and pistons, but its totally not nessessary to get the tractor running. good luck.
