Mike, how badly rusted is that water header cover? Are the two baffles still there, or are they totally rusted away? You can probably get by with the baffles missing but the engine will get hot quicker if you actually make the tractor work. You definately want to remove as much of that rust from the cover as possible so as to uncover any small pin-holes or other potential leaks.
The inside of the engine does not look too bad. Not much point in worrying about that because the only rust you will be able to remove is what you see, and that is only a very small part of what is actually in there. The ONLY way to get rid of all that rust would be to strip the engine completely, remove it from the tractor, and take the block somewhere and have it chemically cleaned.
