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 - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
