Sounds like you are on the right track. Now how about that pan and the oil drain plug?
One advantage to waiting until the very last to paint the tractor is that you will not "skin it all up" and scratch and scuff the paint while working on it.
If you are going to be trying to get the pistons un-stuck you may want to retain the cylinder sleeves in the block with some short lengths of pipe and washers and nuts on the cylinder head studs (You can use short bolts that fit the threads in the block and some washers if the studs have been removed.) (Or if the engine had cylinder head bolts instead of "studs and nuts".)
The cylinder sleeves can "come out" of the block with the pistons, if the pistons are stuck. After you get the pistons "free" be sure to cut the "ridge" out of the top of the cylinders so that the pistons will come out of the cylinder. The tool for this job is a "cylinder ridge reamer".
If you are going to put in a new piston/cylinder sleeve kit, (and throw away the old pistons and sleeves - if they are worn out) you can take the cylinder sleeves and pistons out of the block together and simply "break the sleeves" off of the pistons to get the connecting rods and piston pins out of the pistons. Be careful not to damage the connecting rods if you take this approach. You will likely want to reuse the connecting rods.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". 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
