Congratulations! Having just brought a Farmall 340D back from the dead, I hope you are able to get yours running without too much trouble. Having sat for 2 years with that water/anti-freeze in the oil, I'd be suspect of some etching of the rod and main bearings. Running it very long will certainly do further harm to the crankshaft if the etching is severe enough. Best to follow the advise below, change the oil, put in some fresh fuel, get spark and test it out. If it is a gasser, it should have a C135 engine in it. The diesels were a D166.

Get yourself some manuals, (Service, parts, operator) and learn all you can about your new purchase.
