Sounds like you have a real can of worms there! Lots of good ideas have been offered, but the bottom line is...your engine has suffered a lot of abuse. I know money is probably a big issue...it is for most of us. BUT, you are going to have your hands full even after you get it apart. You may be money ahead, to just pull the engine and take it to a good machine shop for overhaul. You got into your tractor cheap enough and there is no such thing as a free lunch. If the rest of the machine is in decent shape...you'll wind up a fresh engine that will run for years. They can get that engine apart while you're still cussing at it. I suspect you'll need it bored anyway and fresh pistons. The head probably needs rebuilding too. Get the engine rebuilt and spend your time going over the rest of the tractor. This will be a long term project but worth it in the end.
