One thing I have found , first hand , is a motor that has sat outside for 10 years will have debris inside the motor . Changing the oil will not remove all of the trash . If you get the motor started it will loosen the crud , suck it through the oil pump to be ground up and sent through the bearings before it ever sees an oil filter .
Most N's can be rebuilt to "Usable" for very little money . Rebuilding to "Pretty" can be expensive .
If it is something you enjoy then it will be a lot of fun . Avoid the "buying lots of new parts" unless it is absolutly needed to make her run again . Once you have her running on her own power , then you can rebuild one system at a time .
Even with the best intentions , basket cases rarely get rebuilt and unless you have rebuilt a few N's it is hard to put Humpty Dumpty back together again when someone else took her apart , which means less money than a whole unit . (there is usually a few missing or broken parts which make it even harder)
