[quote="Kirk Affeldt; I likes 'em original; the choice is yours. Concerning your cylinder additive to loosen any stuck ring(s) - pistions, get the tractor started and warmed up, then with adequate containers, change all the fluids. Capacities: oil = 5 quarts; hydraulic system [and this system does everything: power steering - if equipped with this option; pto; quadrant lever for fast-hitch or three-point connection and Hydra-Touch (control levers to right of steering wheel = hydraulic outlets]= 10 gallons and check the coolant system for strength of freeze protection = 15 quarts. The oil filter is a canister type under the tall cylindrical housing on the right side of the engine. The hydraulic filter is behind a six-sided plate located ahead of the brake pedals. Fill the hydraulic system by removing a round plug with a square recessed area which is located to the left of the shift lever. To check the 'full level' of this system, look below the left footrest plate. ~1 1/2" below said plate and 3" to the left or forward of the large hex-head bolt that holds the rear support bracket for the footrest, turn out a small bolt or slotted screw and fluid will flow from this opening when the system is full and all air is removed. You may already know this stuff and/or have manual(s). I think you did a smart thing concerning soaking the cylinders if the tractor hadn't been run since ???
Out late, frequent poster Hugh MacKay of O Canada land had his smaller off-set Farmalls start at -30 degrees with a good electrical system = large battery cables, connections shiny, bright and tight. They were made to start and operate in all conditions. It's the operator that may not like all conditions and the tractor also if it isn't up to snuff. Good luck with your project and enjoy it!
