Lanse, I've never worked on a B before, but if it's like most other tractors you can get those pistons and sleeves out of there as a unit real easy and without much more expense than a new set of O rings. Then you can tap the pistons loose from the sleeves individally. If the O ring mating surfaces are pitted, a little creative work with JB weld and sandpaper can fill them in and smooth them off. Just make sure you keep close track of the way the rod caps came off so you can put them back on right. And when you lay them somewhere in the proper order make sure you do it in a way that they stay in order until you need to put them back on. Don't ask me how I know! Some guys say the rod bearings will spin if you put the used ones back on, but I doubt if that will happen with this outfit. Maybe someone else can fill us in on that.
While the sleeves are out you will be surprised at how much rust you find in the block. Cleaning that stuff out can help prevent heating problems in the future.
You will have the time to do the sleeve- pistons while the head is away being worked on, and it will not cost you much of anything to do it now.
Someone else on this board who know Allises should be able to help you with advice on how to get those sleeves out. Jim

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
