Don't overlook the possibility of just reringing your H. You can hone the sleeves just like you would a car engine. Assuming the piston/sleeve wear is not too great (I've not had one yet that was too worn) new rings are cheap.

Farmalls are bad to let the rings stick if they aren't used regularly. I have torn down engines which would foul the plugs in 1 hour of hard pulling and found all it really needed was rings and one or two valve seats.

Do a compression check before you tear it down so you know how the rings are performing versus the valves. You may just wind up doing a valve job after finding the rings are OK.

My last re-ring job I reused the rod bearings because they were so close to spec, to.

Good luck!
