If I were in your shoes, I would definately get a good set of manuals, the necessary tools if you don't have them, and take a couple days off and learn by doing with your M. You sound knowledgable enough to find your way around inside the motor if you have guidance from a good shop manual. I have IT manuals, and while they are ok for some things, I think a shop manual from IH would be the real deal.

You are going to save a boatload of money doing it yourself, and that won't even be as big a factor as firing the old girl up knowing you are the one who fixed it.

Is the tractor smoking a lot, or just a little? Maybe you can do the clutch this year and the rings next if you run out of time? How is the compression...could it be valve seals, not rings?
If so, maybe some engine treatment might soften em up.

If you do the work yourself you could afford another tractor, and this is how one becomes a tractor collector....and then a tractor nut....and then tractor poor....and then......

Well, good luck.
