Assuming you mean the engine in your 4000 from 1970:

From factory, there were no sleeves/liners.
The engine may have been bored and sleeved during the years, no o-ring, dry sleeves with a lip at the top.
You need to lift the head and check what is in there now.
You need to split the tractor to remove the crank and/or renew the main seal.

Things get clearer if you look in the Shop Manual I directed you to in this post:
