I have been around 2 tractors that burnt like you mention..
One was a Oliver 77, the other was a Allis WD45
On the Oliver, it got hot enough to make flat spots in the rims.. Every seal in the tractor was destroyed, the engine was locked up tight (was a running tractor before the fire) and had a heck of a time to get rear wheels to turn.. But, the block seemed ok, as well as most other iron parts (minus the tin) Was parted by a friend of mine.
The WD45 I bought the engine out of it.. didn't see the rest of the tractor. The block ended up being cracked, but can't say the fire was the cause, as the Allis blocks are known to crack between cylinders. The "internals" had rust damage, but I believe all could have been reused if cleaned up. The engine was "tight" but not what I'd call stuck.
However, there is a local guy who has restored a burned tractor.. IIRC it was a IH, can't recall the model anymore.. It was burned pretty bad.. I was told he disassembled it totally, and sandblasted (or cleaned somehow) every part and reinstalled, with all new bearings, races, seals, etc.. Most tin was replaced, as the old was "stretched" from the heat, but to look at it now you'd never know it had been burnt.
