Dont try to do any of the conversions before you try to get it started first is my advice. That way you arent trying to chase a potential problem with the conversion instead of something that was wrong with it that you were unaware of.
I would look to put in some fresh fuel, fresh engine oil, and make sure there is some coolant/water in the radiator and engine block. Look for any mouse nests or bare wires that need to be taped or repaired. You may need to play with the carb if things have gummed up over the years. Probably dont fill the fuel tank until you can see what it looks like in there, might need to flow some through the carb and get scale out of the tank. I would suggest pulling the spark plugs and squirting some oil in each of the cylinders and turning it over by hand just to get some oil in there. Then pull the plug from the coil and crank the engine for a few seconds to build some oil pressure in the system and top end before starting it up.
Great old tractors that shouldnt take much to get them to pop over if nothing is wrong.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
