Farmall M hints on where to start

Posted by Barry on July 28, 2001 at 15:04:17 from (24.216.44.15):

I've acquired a mid 40's M with the all fuel engine. It hasn't been run in 7 years or so , but the engine turns free. I've put new points, cleaned mag, cleaned out carb-what else should I check before trying to crank the old gal? No observable leaks on engine, transmission,or pto.
When I turn it over with valve cover removed should I be able to tell if it's pumping oil and if any valves are stuck? This is my first project and since I have two sons helping, I want to do it right and safely.
