I will continue the restoration, water damage is limited, i will work more on it tomorrow but it looks like this tractor ran just a few years ago, if it didn't have water damage or i had drained it sooner it would've been great but you live and learn. Number 1 5 and 6 have a little rust, number 2 is great and number 3 and 4 had alot of water and when it got cold in December it blew the sleeves, the pistons look great though lol. I'll need new valves and rods, the bottom of the rods were rusted bad,ideas on what needs repairs regarding that? Overall looks great crosshatching is chill prominent. No cracks, I've put stuff in the cylinders to break them loose.

I'm going to tear it down some more, more then likely fully and I'm gonna clean the block out and the head. Any ideas on that? I was thinking electrolysis??

electrolysis is great if you got the room / tank.. I have done that on smaller parts.. For larger cases ( blocks / trans / final drives) i spray them with oven cleaner, let it set 30 minutes and then high pressure water wash..
Like them all, but love the "B"s.
