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. I would suggest pulling the spark plugs and squirting some oil in each of the cylinders and turning it over by hand just to get some oil in there. 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.
Great old tractors that shouldnt take much to get them to pop over if nothing is wrong.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
