I'd do everything possible to keep it and get her running since it was a family tractor. I grabbed a B that was stuck and the manifold was plugged with rust/rainwater/mouse nest for $300. Runs like a top now. You just have to get yours to a place you can tear into the motor and see what you have. The B is very simple when it comes down to it. There are a ton of used parts out there to get off Ebay or Craigslist and you likely could get another used motor for it pretty cheap also if it came to it. Or pull the sleeves and rebuilt it completely with new bearings also. Just depends on how far you want to go. She will run again.
Keep the faith and you will never regret it once you have her running again. It doesn't have to be done tomorrow so take your time. Your Grandfather would be proud of that. My father helped me fix it up and now I have those memories to go with it.
An H front wheel wont fit, too big. You will need a couple rims. I got a pair from a junk yard pretty cheap off an A. The A, B and C all have common parts for the motor and other things such as the front rims. Get a manual. Keep at it and post your questions. The good people on here will freely give you pointers.
