I believe my favorite part of tractor restoration (other than 1st fire up) is what I termed the point of turnaround- all the teardown complete- now we’re reassembling all the nice clean parts & torquing down the different assemblies. Good clean fun!!
I just started watching the video and obviously I don't know yet how long this tractor has been stuck or how long it's been sitting but me personally I'd be pulling the spark plugs putting a little transmission fluid down the cylinders checking to see what the spark plugs look like after they've come out looking for Rust deposits and then pull the starter and use a pry bar on the ring gear to see if I can get it to move some
Words of wisdom: “Don’t use your hands as a hammer “ you’ll pay for it later…. PS invest in a can of Kroil…. Thank me later….cool video thanx for posting!!
Awesome to see it being freed up. When being towed by skid steer, I saw the fan turning like a wheel on a stagecoach in an old western.!

PS- not as much “cursing “ during reassembly too… he he….

We gave what you were saying a shot. Let the engine soak for roughly 3 weeks no action at all.
I would definitely re ring it. You're there. Why take the chance?
@hturbo1007 that's the plan. New video is coming out soon.
show it some love at least put some rings/brg in it grind the valves if going to work it hard put sleeves also
Engine wad completely rebuilt on this 300 minus the sleeves.
That tractor should not have any metric bolts on it.
