Welcome to the world of "vintage" tractors. Taking them apart and putting them back together is half the fun of owning them! You are going to have to take the engine completely out of the tractor to remove the crankshaft, because the flywheel has to come off and the timing gear cover has to come off. You really need a shop manual before you start. They are not difficult tractors to work on, but you need to know the details, specs, etc., as with any engine. You will need a good jack and a jackstand or blocking to support the rear half of the tractor, and two jackstands or blocking to support the front support casting/front axle. You will also need some type of cherry picker (engine crane) or overhead lift to support the front axle as you roll it away from the engine, then to support the engine as you split it from the clutch housing. An I&T manual will give you good instructions, as long as you are familiar with tractors and engines. If you are a novice, an IH tech manual or re-print would probably be best, as they go into more detail. Have fun!
