I may be way off base, but isn't it a Fiat based tractor? If it is you may need to cut the sleeves out with a boring bar, install the new sleeves and then finish it to the correct zise. Do they have oversize pistons for those?

I made a hydraulic puller and installer for the sleeves on a long. The new ones were rough cut and had to rebor it after you press them in. 510 pistons are .090 oversize (if I remember correctly) but I have not tried to bore a 445 out to take one.
