My son restored (refurbished) a 1949 JD B for a "senior project" in high school, and also showed it in the county 4-H fair. He didn't have to do much inside the engine, but much repairs on the externals, radiator, exhaust, sheet metal, electrical, paint, upholstery, etc. Had many hours on it before it was done. Looks, runs beautifully now. One of your overriding decisions should be availibility of old tractor, availibility of repair parts. Probably best if you start with one that doesn't need complete engine rebuild - often beyond the skills of younger set, and they will want to see pretty fast results. Maybe a complete tear-down tractor should come up as a later project.
