Sleeving the bores would beat any metal build up process. Not cost effective. Get another block.

Thanks to all for the block advice. I picked up another block from a forum member before Christmas. Just got it back from the machine shop where it was dry stripped/blasted, decked, and cleaned. They said they had to take 0.005" off, so I'm anticipating I'll have to take a little off the tops of new the sleeves in order to have the right protrusion above the deck.

They did point out some tiny cracks around one of the 3/8" stud holes for the cylinder head. It looks like there's still a broken off piece of stud way down in the bottom of it so I'll carefully set this up in the drill press and take care of that. The shop wasn't concerned about the cracks and I'm not really either, but I may get a pic of it later this week. No cracks in between the cylinders anywhere.

I was not planning on putting any new paint on this tractor but since I had the block stripped, I had to put something on to keep it from rusting. Cans of PO #1 are almost $20 each from AGCO now.
