How to start my 1950 Farmall M

Posted by sccwells on April 13, 2004 at 08:55:31 from (68.148.40.248):

I've just aquired a 1950 Farmall M and have taken the advice of many on this message board and changed the oil (I dropped the oil pan and cleaned the sludge out) and am in the process of changing the other fluids. What should I replace before i attempt to start it? Should I replace the plugs, distributor and oil filter? Where do I get these parts from? Also, should I drain the engine block water jacket or is it likely it is empty? The previous owner said that the tractor had been running a couple of years ago? I'm a rookie at this sort of thing so I'm unsure of the next steps.
