Dont try to do any of the conversions before you try to get it started first is my advice. That way you arent trying to chase a potential problem with the conversion instead of something that was wrong with it that you were unaware of.
I would look to put in some fresh fuel, fresh engine oil, and make sure there is some coolant/water in the radiator and engine block. Look for any mouse nests or bare wires that need to be taped or repaired. You may need to play with the carb if things have gummed up over the years. Probably dont fill the fuel tank until you can see what it looks like in there, might need to flow some through the carb and get scale out of the tank.

Then pull the plug from the coil and crank the engine for a few seconds to build some oil pressure in the system and top end before starting it up.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
