You do not say what condition it is in.

The very FIRST step, is to acquire a parts catalog AND a shop manual for it. A FACTORY shop manual is far preferable to the I&T version, but the I&T is a lot easier to find. After you have your manuals, use the exploded diagrams in the PC to make yourself familiar with the various components, and use the Shop manual to give you an idea as to what the tractor really needs. If it is a full frame up complete reconstruction,You ight as well start with removing the sheet metal and proceding from there, but it will be helpful to know what the actual condidtion of the tractor is.

Is the engine stuck?

Are the brakes frozen?

Does the clutch work?

It may be simplest to start with one system---you can pull the starter and generator and have them tested. If the engine is stuck (pistons are frozen in their cylinders) then that will be an early priority. For that, you WILL need the instructions from a good shop manual.

Further advice will require more information!
