We used one of that model on a parade toy project. Ours was also stuck, but got it loose using the 50% ATF,50% acetone formula. Ours also had many stick valves, we did not want to remove the heads, as in it's former life, the engine was on a highway dept salt spreader truck, so was so salt corroded we suspected every head bolt would twist off if we had to remove the heads. We used a hardened steel rod with a short "L" bend on the end to tap the stuck valves shut through the sparkplug holes. use the cam to open the valve, then turn the crank one turn and tap the valve back down. Took about 2 hours to get them all free.
We had two partial parts tractors, McCormic Deering 22-36. We had enough parts to make a complete 22-36 chassis with rear fenders on steel wheels, but no sheet metal, and most important, not nearly enough parts to make a stock engine. What engine did we have that could be fitted to that tractor ? looked like the best bet was that little Wisconsin. Would be fun to do an air cooled tractor and no need to make that 80 year old tractor radiator hold water.
We used whatever was at hand in the scrap pile to make the conversion, a beater shaft from an Oliver combine, Versatile windrower belt pullies,a clutch and flywheel assy from a 50's Ford car. My brother hand fabricated all the sheet metal, a fuel tank, hood and side curtains. We enjoy running the tractor in parades and even use it for light work around the farm. It cost us nearly nothing as most of it was parts out of our own scrap pile.

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 "
