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.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
