I wouldn't know where to start with a tractor that needed work, although I imagine one like that isn't terribly complicated. If you can work on a car, I assume a tractor, especially an oldy like that, should be even easier, once you learn the systems and parts.

Yeah they seem simple but often very dumb design makes them hard to work on. My neighbor had a ford 601 the hood grill and dash were very much not meant to be removed and the hood is also where the gas tank was integrated. So if you need to get to anything in the valve cover or behind the dash its a nightmare. And the voltage regulator is buried behind the dash with 6v positive ground system. I hated working on that thing. Also had strangely high gears for a tractor. Definately needed a low range or atleast one lower gear. It left me wondering why they were so popular because it seemed a bit useless as a tractor.
