Thanks guy's for all of you help in info. I know I have alot of reading and internet searching to do. I should have spent more time looking before posting questions. This project was originally to be for next summer. My good friend and farming buddy, Mr McClintoc, turned 74 last week. Since we picked up the tractor, he has put me on the fast track taking it apart. He is retired and is down every day mentioning something to do on it. He is like a kid with a new toy. He would have liked to start and ride it last week. Normally this time of year we are focusing on snowmobiles. My plan is to get everything cleaned and gone over and spend the winter months cleaning up the smaller stuff, getting it primed, have the engine in long block form and get the misc parts together. On the nice days of spring, spray it and have the parts to assemble it. After paint, I let him loose, it will prob take 2 weeks to put together. That's pending I didn't forget anything. :)
I have the old service manual to read and have the "how to restore Farmall tractors" that I am getting a primer on.
I am looking for a parts number manual. When I look on http://www.messicks.com/CAS/59088.aspx blow up diagrams, I can't seem to equate the p/n to the actual part number.
One question I have is "how far do I take it apart"?
Below is a 'field find' picture and one that is current . I drained the fluids in the hyd, trans and dif. Was planning on filling with kero for winter so it could soak. Put my finger in the dif drain hole and stuck a sliver of metal in it along with sludge. Gears all seem to work. Its 70+ years old. What do you guys recommend? Worry about it later or is there anything to look at. Is there anything thing to check other than the gears all working and the pto?
Thanks again for all your help. This is going to be a great ride.

Today's Featured Article - Maintaining Rubber Tires - by Staff. The broad use of rubber tires on farm tractors and machinery has resulted in a great saving in both time and operating costs since the time of steel wheels.
