well guys thanks for all the advice the last 2 days on getting the engine unstick. i finally ended up dissconnecting the rod from the crank shaft on #1 and #4 the drove out the piston through the top it was a chore as i was trying to be carefull not to hit or damage any other parts. after i removed the 2 piston it broke free with no effort at all. i can now order the complete overhaul kit and get this tractor alive again.
thanks all

You need to clean that block area thoroughly where the sleeve seals are installed. I pulled the engine on the Farmall A in 1975. I used a steam jenny at work to clean the block. The crankshaft was worn only .002" and I had the crankshaft polished at our local auto machine shop. The sleeve kit cost $80.00 in 1975. I had the clutch disc relined too. Hal
PS: I bought the .002" undersize bearings from the machine shop

I 2cnd the cleaning if you have a tub large enough to put the block in cascade dishwasher powder will clean pretty good in places a pressurewasher can't get to. Good luck !!!!
