If it turns over with a 12 volt and not a 6 volt battery, you could have 12 volt battery cables on the old girl. The 12 volt cables will not carry enough current to the starter with a 6 volt battery. They are usually 4 gage wire. You need 2 gage for the six volt system. I use 1 gage on all my H's.
Also since you had water in the crankcase. You've probably got rust. Good guality clean oil will help that. I use a quart of slick 50 in my H's when I change oil. You see I still use them for work and it keeps me from having to tear them down as much. The water had to come in the muffler and thru the open valve. So the rings at least on one piston will be stuck. (Always carry a tin can that you can drop over the muffler to keep this from happening) The shed is the best bet, if all the old farmall's had been shedded, none would be in junkyards now.
Enjoy
