After mowing hay for a couple of hours, I climbed on tractor to move to another field. The tractor was idling. I pulled back on throttle 2-3 notches and heard the sound of metal crunching. The removal of the oil pan shows the pieces of the sleeve of no. 1 cylinder. It looks the two top rings on the piston may have been stuck. I don't know if this happened before or after the damage was done. I have had the H for 6-7 years. It was overhauled less than a year before I got it. It is a 1942 model and was working fine with no warning. I probably use it about 50 hours a year. The crankshaft and bearings look good. There was no mixing of oil and coolant.

Does anyone have any theories as to what caused this and what is the best repair approach-replace piston and sleeve and associated parts and gaskets or go further?
