Sounds like you are on the right track. Now how about that pan and the oil drain plug?
One advantage to waiting until the very last to paint the tractor is that you will not "skin it all up" and scratch and scuff the paint while working on it.
If you are going to be trying to get the pistons un-stuck you may want to retain the cylinder sleeves in the block with some short lengths of pipe and washers and nuts on the cylinder head studs (You can use short bolts that fit the threads in the block and some washers if the studs have been removed.) (Or if the engine had cylinder head bolts instead of "studs and nuts".)
The cylinder sleeves can "come out" of the block with the pistons, if the pistons are stuck. After you get the pistons "free" be sure to cut the "ridge" out of the top of the cylinders so that the pistons will come out of the cylinder. The tool for this job is a "cylinder ridge reamer".
If you are going to put in a new piston/cylinder sleeve kit, (and throw away the old pistons and sleeves - if they are worn out) you can take the cylinder sleeves and pistons out of the block together and simply "break the sleeves" off of the pistons to get the connecting rods and piston pins out of the pistons. Be careful not to damage the connecting rods if you take this approach. You will likely want to reuse the connecting rods.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
