The H may well be more expensive to fix than finding one in running condition. But....there's a definite satisfaction in making one live again that others gave up for dead. My suggestion would be to pull the sparkplugs, or even better, the head, and pour some solvent into the cylinders, then let it set for at least a week (better 3 or 4) and see if you can turn the motor over. Don't force it by pulling it, just jack up a rear wheel, put it 5th gear, and rock that wheel back and forth to see if the motor will move. Solvent choices vary; you can find a lot on that subject in the archives. Personally, I'd go with some PB Blaster, or perhaps WD-40. You could do a lot worse than use brake fluid. Be patient!

I'm not very knowledgeable about the Allis WD. Most of the restoration rules are not brand-specific, however. The MD is a different matter. Those tractors are becoming harder to find, but are potential money-pits when you start pricing complete engine re-builds.
Good luck!
