do not sand or hone a sleeve in the engine you will never get the grit out from the honing stones or sand paper it is an abrasive and it will imbed in the bearings and remain there and wear out the crankshaft. use a wire brush or remove the sleeves, don't listen to Gene Dotson, most of his advice is wrong! I know because I have been reading his baloney for years!

There are two common bore diameters for the DC, 3 7/8" and 4". Since it is a 1942, it originally had 3 7/8" cast iron pistons. The 4" bore had aluminum pistons. If you are going to hone the cylinders the head should be removed. It is easier to install the pistons and rods from the top,less chance of breaking a ring. These motors have babbited rod bearings and are adjustable by removing shims as needed. When new, they had three shims on each side of the rod cap. Observe how they came out and put everything back in the same position. Hastings and Perfect Circle both make new rings for the DC. Remove the round plate on the bottom left side of the oil pan to clean the oil pump screen and the accumulation of sludge. There is a plug at the bottom of the clutch housing on the right side. Every time you change oil it should be removed to get rid of the dirty oil in the clutch housing. The oil from the engine will replace the old oil. Check the oil level and fill to the top 1/8" oil pan plug after running the first half hour. Good luck!!!

The tractor is a 1942 model. Probably exported under the war production program.
You will do no harm by sanding the rust from the cylinder liner. The fact that the piston will move indicates the engine will turn. I would strongly recommend removing the pistons, honing the bores and reassemble with new rings. This can be done without removing the engine or even the oil pan. Just remove the side covers and work through them. Be sure to clean all the skudge from the oil pan.
The clutch is a wet clutch that runs in oil from the engine, so oily sludge is natural in this area. The engagement pressure will likely lesses as the tractor is driven. Lever should require 40 pounds of push on the handle to snap in... Gene

These machines were designed to be fixed in the paddock by farmers. They are easy to work on. There are many people in NZ and Australia who will be able to help you. The main thing is to get an operators manual, a parts manual and if you can, a genuine Case service manual

Once you get the tractor running, have used the clutch a bit and changed the oil a couple of time (non detergent oil I use Castrol CRB40 in mine) the clutch will probably come good. If not, it is easy to adjust through the plate just in front of the belt pulley.
