You get discusted when you buy a project that turns into this. I bought an H one time. The guy was honest, and said it was stuck. I was figuring it was one cylinder froze, like I have ran into a few times. Had one heck of a time getting the head off. Once off, every cylinder looked like what you have in your pictures (or worse if anything). I ended up parting out the tractor instead of fixing it up as intended. Sometimes parting one out, just makes more sense. Although, sometimes it's difficult to get back to even when you pencil it, when you have to do that.
Bad part is with an H, if you find a good H engine, you might as well just go with the rest of the tractor the engine is coming from, rather than changing out the engine. Not sure how that is with a B. I know you bought it disassembled. That could go either way. It's already disassembled if you you part it out. But putting it back together with a different engine wouldn't be any extra work, since you was going to have put humpty dumpty back together again anyways. Now, that's a toss up, I would think.
I'm guessing your leaning towards re-assembling it.
