Dontcha just love these jobs....? I guess the first question that comes to mind regarding the pistons... is are they actually the correct pistons? Are you absolutely sure? It's not uncommon for the Ford's to clear the deck by a little bit but 1/8" seems like a bit much. I'm also thinking that a 256T should have a bit less protrusion that a N/A engine so mabey they should be flush... I think the best suggestion I can make is that you check through the service manual for those specs. A Ford tractor manual for a 7700 will suffice if you don't have the 755's manual. I wouldn't be too comfortable with the idea of cutting the pistons down tho. Is there a chance that the block was decked by a large amount? That might be a problem too... I forget the timing procedure on that thing now. I know there's a timing window in front of the flywheel on the right side, below the starter. Not knowing what was done previously though... I think I'd want to check the timing marks on the gears and make sure it's right.

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.
