Heres how I do it on almost all old tractor engines I get. I pull the plugs, even if it turns over easy. Fill each cylinder with tranny fluid, and let sit for a few hours. I then pull to plugs and spin the engine over to empty the cylinders. Install the plugs again and see if it will try to run. I also don't have any thing in the rad. once it starts I let it run with the empty rad for about 10 minutes. Shut it off and walk away from it for a couple hours. Fill check and fix any thing I have then found wrong and thats it. Did that just the other day on an H Farmall that had sat for 25 years and the engine was stuck and in 2 hours I was driveing it.
