Mark, there probably is a way to get around that learning disability when working on these old tractors. When I was growing up, the best mechanic at the local IH dealership was illiterate. If he could find a picture of the unit he was working on he could fix it.
Hugh MacKay might be a bit gruff but is very knowledgeable. He is persistent, too. He has probably owned or operated, or had neighbors who owned most all of these old tractors.
The old tractors are not that complicated but a lot of times only come apart and go back together one way. If money is not a problem, buy the shop manual, service manual, and operator's manual for your tractor.
Do you have a digital camera? You may need to take pictures of your tractor with you to the tractor salvage yard so you know what you have and what you need there. If you find a comparable tractor, then take pictures as you take it apart to get the pieces you want. Then you have them to follow as it goes back together.
