Randy Hall, with all due respect and not trying to "flame" you, these are dual fuel pistons. I would be happy to scan and post the IH manual that shows it. They came in a conversion kit that included the pistons, carb, manifold, heat shield, starting tank, hood, and fuel bowl.
Secondly, Blackriver, send me some pictures of them. If they are in recoverable shape, I'll trade you straight up a set of decent, un-stuck pistons and sleeves for them, connecting rods included. when I say recoverable, I mean not cracked or broken. Stuck in the sleeves is fine.
Currently desirable, no they are not for most people. Are they an example of what the dual fuel pistons were, yes. Are they made anymore, no. Do I intend to put them on a display I am making to show the early C-113 options, yes. Would one want those in a current, working tractor, probably not. Will they work just fine for a show tract/trailer queen, they sure will. HP loss due to lower compression I would estimate to be around 3-4 HP, not a huge deal for a show only tractor.
If you want to keep these, I would be happy to press them out for you, no charge. You just cover the shipping.
Before everyone starts spouting opinions and information around this, they should check the facts. Those of you who are veterans here, and have BTDT, should present a balanced opinion, not just "scrap it and move on". You could say the same thing about the whole tractor. For doing work today, this tractor ain't worth a crap when compared to modern tractors the same HP and size. However, when saving and restoring/repairing a family heirloom or similar, "scrap it and move on" doesn't factor in. Those here who are older and have experience, should be presenting both sides of an approach when teaching/helping the newer members. One thing trumps all though, "its your tractor, you can do whatever you want with it". rant over.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Tractor Lovers Dream About - by Angus Crawford. The day started at five o'clock on the morning of Friday, the January 29, 1999. My father, my sister, my uncle, my cousin and myself all climbed into my uncle's Toyota van. It was six thirty in the morning and we had a long day ahead. We traveled for six and a half hours to our destination - a little country town with a population of no more then one hundred and fifty people (57 of them being children under the age of thirteen). We arrived hoping to meet up with a man we knew had over one
