I think since you don't already have in hand free donor parts you should stop.... But if there is a chance to find all or most of the parts needed from another tractor near by @ the right price then it's a consideration. I would not buy any of the other parts you've mention'd until you've found MAIN parts BLOCK & PISTONS.
I am currently resurrecting a 1944 A 6 speed hand crank. Into a 44,45,46,48, 51 & 1952 60 electric start. My head & block were JUNK, BUT!! I had another donor machines near by for free. I've purchased pieces & parts on EBAY for the prices I wanted to pay, matched Used pistons 15.50 + shipping, NOW Correct piston rings 22.38 + shipping. I thought I was doing well!! But to do the job right I didn't like the look of the valve seats & had new one's installed.. The block bored, the surfices planed. I even found the correct complete engine gasket set on EBAY brand new for less than 20.00.. + shipping.. This short list I've posted has taken almost a year, but there were other things I've purchased at the right price that it didn't need to make it run too.. Right now I'm at the Max $$ amount I wanted to spend. And I am FAR from being done... The tractor is still in MANY pieces and I have not lost interest in it at all. Just cold weather has slowed me down. The engine will be done right or I won't do it. As for the rest of the machine it won't be correct for the police but it will be correct for what I plan to use it for, and more user friendly for me. I don't need this tractor for anything. But will mount a John Deere snow plow on it, & it will STAY on it. I bought for 300.00 & will end up having at least 2 grand in it in parts alone. & it will only be worth 2 Grand if two or three people want it at the same time. BUT!!! I saved it from going to China.... And sometimes when I look at it sitting, I ask myself WHY?? My answer is the PASSION...

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Generators - by Chris Pratt. As a companion to the articles on three-brush and two-brush generators, it seemed fitting that we should provide our readers with a description of how a generator works in lay terms. The difficulty with all those "theory of operation" texts is that they border on principles of electricity or physics and such. Since I know nothing of either, you will have to put up with looking at the common sense side of how generators work which means we "
