The other posts have pretty well covered it. Best tech manual I've seen is the one Deere sells - SM-2045. Availble cheap on CD at some other tractor sites. Also, many tractor companies have detailed info in their own tractor manuals - e.g. Allis Chalmer for an HD4, Ford 4000, etc. IH and Deere tend not to put the info in specific tractor manuals and use separate tech books instead.
About your head-stud. Deere and a few other companies special order the head-stud with a Bristol end. So, if that's what you have, you must have a Bristol six toothed wrench to get it out. I know that most Fords do NOT need it. Add Deere's do. Not sure about IH. So far, I've found them both ways.
If you need it and don't have a wrench, you might be able to buy cheap from Thompsons Diesel.
Wrench for taking out head-screw is Stanadyne # 15499, with six teeth, roughly 5/16" on the OD of the splines, and 1/4" on the ID.
Thompson's has been having a "yard sale" of new, old stock Stanadyne tools. Selling all at 1/2 price to anybody. My son and I bought a dozen of those wrenches to have as spares for $6 each. Not sure if they have any more or not.

This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
