So I got the pistons out and looks like both rods bent and both sleeves have a small chunk broke out at the bottom. Likely from the rods bending.
as tight as the pistons fit in the sleeve (even without the rings) the tractor would've kept on trucking long after me had I not gotten water in it.
However that looks to be the extent of the damage, parts are right at $700+ shipping since I already had a head gasket for it.
Now just hoping I can put it back together AND it run
