I don't know much about Cs but on Hs, the hand crank linkage in front is commonly rusted unturnable. Have you tried turning it over with the starter? The engine may not be stuck. If not, that's one less thing to get it going again. If it is stuck, search the archives for the various ingeneous cylinder-soaking, wood-block pounding methods of freeing it up. I agree with old, to get it restored will be a not insignificant investment. On the other hand, you're ahead of some of us in that 1) You've already got the tractor and 2) it's had some significance in your life. I've heard a lot of stories where tractors that have sat for years have been started again without too much effort. Even if the process morphs into a nightmare you'd rather not pursue, you can get rid of the tractor more easily if you can advertise the engine as being 'not stuck'. My two cents would be to get the engine going and, based on how it sounds, decide if you want to go fully operational.
