First of, thanks for all of the input, I really do appreciate it !!

I do have the head off, that was step one for me to see what was going on. It seems as though the level in cylinders 3 and 4 have dropped, need to get the oil pan of next to verify. So those might not be so bad.

The cylinder walls on 1 and 2 are pretty nasty, pushing the pistons out the top, makes sense as for cylinder wall wear, need to take a look at ring ridge. I'll spend some time on cleaning them up, so I can see better. I never thought f pushing up from the bottom, that's a heck of an idea. I'm pretty sure that the tractor won't go anywhere as it has just a wee bit of weight to it. Just hope there is enough of a flat spot on the bottom of the piston to press on, that is out of the way of the rods.

I don't have hardly anything in this tractor, but am not for sure as to what it's going to cost to fix it up. I would like to try and salvage as much as I can, I havn't been able to find too many places that migh have parts for this thing. I thought I saw somewhere where you could still get a rebuild kit for this at NAPA?? It's more or less a big toy for me :)

Were the heads pretty bad about cracking on these indirect start diesels? I need to have it looked at.

A little more history on this:

I think the block is ok, the Antifreeze looked pretty good when I drained it, but there was ALOT of water in the oil pan when I drained it. The radiator was full, and there didn't seem to be any oily film in it. Pretty sure that it was rain water, the oil was black as coal when I drained it. I'm guessing that it had just sat outside for too long. The water jackets look great, no rust or scale in them.

Thanks again for all the input guys. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT :)
