Scott, ya done good, and you'll not only appreciate the Massey far more than an N series Ford for it's dual range transmission, but you'll be safer with the IPTO. If it didn't come with manuals, do yourself a big favor and order a set. They have them here on YT, as well as other places on the web.
You may think there is a LOT of oil and grime, but from what I see, it isn't that bad at all.
