Sitting outside in weather for 20 years? Exhaust cap removed?
Just going by this, I would say engine is locked up about as tight as it could possibly get. Wouldn't have to be (stranger things have happened). But let's just say that it is above the more than likely odds.
What does this mean? Well, ... it means that it will be quite an undertaking to make this thing run again. If you got the time and money and just want to learn, then you might want to take on the project. But I might just warn you that a locked up engine is a job and considerable task for even somebody who is experienced and has the know how. It can possibly be a project for a newbie that is really determined and motivated, but let's just say that it really isn't otherwise a good beginner project. Just so you know going into this deal, if you so choose. When it comes to a locked engine situation, the quick fix idea gets thrown out the window, and the project really becomes an 'I have a dream' project.
I'm not trying to discourage you, or telling you to not take on the project. Just kind of letting you know what your in for if you do.
A 12 volt conversion is definately not the first thing you should be thinking.
For what it's worth, I took on a froze engine project when I was a freshman in high school and didn't know a whole lot mechanically. So I do know what your about to jump into. Just so you know that these words are coming from a guy who has 'been there, and done that'.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
