Hi -
I just went through something simular with my tractor - If I were you can could afford it, I would get a new-for-you block. My MF 135's block had been welded back in the early 1990s and it caused the cylinders not to seat correctly.

Needless to say, and by making a long story short, I had the Z145 block, it cost me $650.00. I had to buy a new block because some ding-bat back when my dad was alive and dealing with that machine, welded the block to the point that the cylinder sleeves wouldn't seat, thus relegating it into yard ornament status for 12 years until I started pumping money into it.

Bottom line...$650 is WAY cheaper than the total cost of fixing my tractor from sitting for 12 years - around $5,3k.

Oh on the plus side - if you have a perkins engine gas or diesel, the parts are reletively cheap and common!
