If you can't get a wrench in there, get a pair of channel locks around the cast part and unscrew it that way. May marr it a bit, but works.
P.S. You seem to be FLYING with disassembly/ paint/ whatever else. SLOW DOWN. I did my first tractor when I was 15-16 and I just turned 17 this month. That tractor was 100% mechanically functional and it still took me 364 days to "refurbish" it. I mostly disassembled it and I completely repainted it (carb rebuild, misc. gaskets). That was all I did. You will be disappointed with the end result if you rush and you may make it a more expensive project than it needs to be. One of the first things I would have done is try to get the oil drained and changed or fill with kerosene. Not primer the whole rusty tractor.
Just some advice from somebody who seems to be playing the same ballgame.
P.S.S. I just bought another tractor on Jan 12. Farmall M. It joins the JD A I referenced earlier. Took me 2 weeks just to get the loose and 100% complete engine running last night (1-26). I may be "slow" but it has worked for me.
