I feel for ya,my bottomless pit was a 1955 70 gas John Deere.I found it sitting a barn stuck but was told when it sat outside it wasn't long till they moved it inside.I was very confident with a little penetrating oil and a long bar on the flywheel it was gonna be a steal and I would be the one laughing all the way to the bank,"WRONG"!After new pistons,rods,dogs and toggles,governor,fanshaft,drive disc,and more parts you can stick in the back of a swb truck I was into that thing as deep as you could just about buy two running 70's.Upon startup an oil line broke feeding the left side main bearing which made a big mess.When we was loading the 70 the truck hooked to the gooseneck jacknifed while pulling the tractor on.Then the guy told me before they parked it it had flipped on a hill almost ending his existance.I should have left it there but didn't.I too had mine budgeted but after sinking so much I couldn't stop till I had it done.My two happiest days was when I purchased it and when I traded it off.I did find a guy who had some of what I needed by the name of"Shorty Dear"in TX(which some will remember).He really did me right on the price but passed shortly there after.I wish you the best and maybe you can find a good parts tractor cheap.
