I assume you want to get it running so you can drive it to see if it's worth overhauling. Take the top off the tranny and have a look down there real close. Get a little LED light so you can see everything. If the tranny looks good, and you have a good feeling about the rest of the tractor then go ahead and pull the sleeves with the pistons in them. You can work at freeing the pistons easier with the sleeve on the bench. If you decide to put the sleeves back in, O rings don't cost that much. The rings will be stuck so when you get the pistons out of the sleeves you can possibly free them up but they do break real easy, and I mean REAL easy.
I'm going through the same thing as you are, only with an F20. The pistons and sleeves are reusable but I'll have to go with new o rings on the sleeves and new piston rings. The old piston rings broke with the slightest amount of me trying to loosen them. Good luck and have patience with it. Jim
