I missed what vintage Farmall we're talking about here. If it is dry sleeves they can be difficult to get out. You'll probably find the cylinders further away from the radiator are the hardest to remove.The puller doesn't have to be any thing fancy, a HEAVY
threaded rod with the correct size plate on the bottom and an arbor with a large nut and some blocks will work.Some tricks already mentioned help.Warm the block and pack the sleeve with dry ice will often aid in removal. Don"t get in too much of a hurry and they will usually come out. A hacksaw blade on a handle to split the sleeve in several places and a splitter chisle will work if they won't come out. After cleaning the new sleeves I put them in the freezer for several days, make sure the cyl. holes are clean & smooth and warm the block.Keep the sleeves in ice till installation. Use a block of oak and a stout hammer to drive them in. If the sleeve stops it is better to repull it and see why. I have used a small amount of STP mixed with engine oil as a lub. Good Luck
