Got a 57 Super A. Few years, truck patched 4 acres- Engine was weak when I bought the tractor- used oil, smoked, got weak- plugs fouled quick- no room in blacksmith shop. Tractor set outside for a year- got some water in a couple cylinders. Pulled head- sleeves are rusty. Question, Am I going in the right direction by buyin' sleeves, pisstons, rings, gaskets, getting a valve job, getting the engine running to farm this year? Had good oil pressure so I'm gonna try to keep the same bearings. When I pull pistons will mic crank to check for wear. I've got a small machine shop, lathes, mills so on. Notice the pistons have bushings, I've got a lot of reamers, some adjustable. . . what's the best way to fit the pistons to the connecting rods. Will be 63 this June. . . would like the tractor to last the rest of my years. Also what's the best way to pull the sleeves?

Thanks in advance for any answers.

I just made a puller for my B a couple weeks ago. Turned a round torch drop to 4.125" at 0.5" long down to a step at 3.875 for 0.25". Drilled a .75" hole in it for the pull. Turned a 2.75" long round tube to 3.875" id and 4.125"od for the spacer(drill pipe, odd dimensioned stuff). Turned another round torch drop to just under my bore at 2.995 with a 3.125 shoulder and 1.5" thick. Drill it also. I welded on a Redi-rod to the slug that fits in the bottom of the cylinder and lubed it good. Worked like a champ. I asked here about the length of pull needed and was told correctly that about 1/2" would do it. Only hand wrench pressure did the job. My sleeves are the smaller size OD inside the block and a 3" bore. I don't know where you'd have to modify for your Super.
