Guess I'm not sure exactly what your question is - or more specifically the reasoning behind it. Not sure there's enough info to answer accurately.

Whether or not that's neccesary is a totally different question.
What will the tractor be used for/how often?
If money is a concern, and the tractor was running fine and not burning oil, I'd slap it back together and worry about it some other day.
