In my state they would about throw you in jail if you start drainage without getting a bunch of permits. See your county office first. If you don't, the fines & requirement to restore the land back to the way it was gets very expensive. No kidding. All us farmers need to follow this.
As well, running tile into a road ditch is also not allowed in many places.
Beyond that, you have a good plan on draining the field out. Tile typically go 3 feet deep, and have to drain somewhere downhill. You wouldn't need the gravel, tho a little can sure help in tight clay soils. Don't pay for the fancy stuff in the picture, black 4 or 5 inch slitted plastic tile.....
The wet floor, you didn't tell us what it was - dirt floor? Or? Not sure how to handle that, gets very specific tot he exact problem - prob have to see it to have a good idea. I'd think a couple inches of limestone wouldn't do much, water will wick up if there is a water problem.

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.
