Several things can hinder moving an old crawler. Tracks might rust solid if they aren't worn enough. (Not all that likely in this case.) Brakes might be stuck to drums (much much higher probability) and that generally means it isn't moving at all. The next biggest problem is steering clutches may be stuck and it won't turn, which is nearly as bad as stuck brakes. At least steering clutches are fairly easy to access on a TD40.
The engine is 461 cubes, and shares some parts (not many) with the TD14. Many were re-powered with a TD14 engine.
A word of warning, repairing crawler undercarriage makes restoring an old tractor seem like a breeze. Everything requires mechanical assistance to lift it. The engine in my TD18s weigh more than my Super C. And parts cost way more, and there are a lot of parts that wear.
