The motor is going to take a long time,but you cant rush it.Its going to take as long as it takes.Looks good with the primer what I can see.You might see if TSC or a auto parts store has grease zerks and valve cores.Change the zerks that wont take and the cores that dont hold air.Dont put any air in the tire thats got the bad rim.Those old tractors kind of were hard to steer.Look for a drain somewhere on the steering box and see if any oil comes out,might not have any oil in it.Just a thought but you might want to replace the kerosene with PB Blaster for a couple of days.If it took PB Blaster 3 days to unlock the brake levers it might unlock the moter.I dont think they had that stuff 28 years ago when I unstuck the VAC Case tractor that I did.Theres lots of different torque wrenches,and ways to use them.If its a click wrench you most likely turn the handle until a pointer points to a number stamped into the handle.It probly has a lock at the bottom of the handle you turn to release the handle so you can turn it to change the torque setting.One set of numbers is Ft Lbs or foot pounds,some other numbers are for NM or newton meters whatever they are.Most you need is Foot Pounds probly.Inch pounds maybe are on it.Watch for that as inch pounds are 1 twelth of foot pounds and if you set them in inch pounds they are gonna fall apart if it calls to set them in foot pounds.If its a beam type wrench it will have a rod with a pointer on it,then when you pull the handle it will bend a little but the pointer will point to a number thats either foot pounds or inch pounds.Foot pound torque wrenches take 1/2 inch drive or 3/8 drive sockets.Inch pound torque wrenches take usually 14 drive sockets maybe 3/8 drive.There are other kinds but those are probly what you can get at Sears.If you have the kind that the handle turns to set it,when you put it away you always set it to zero so it will be accurate when you go to use it again.Always only PULL on the handle to torque something.If you jerk on the handle it wont work right.Never put a cheater pipe on the handle of a torque wrench,it will mess it up maybe.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
