First of all---welcome to the site:D:D

Your tractor is a 1954.
You should have no trouble changing the grousers over.
One guy you will want to get to know is:
Landis Zimmerman
1450 Diamond Station Road
Ephrata, PA
717-738-2573

No doubt you could build a track press but I'm not sure it is worth it.  Landis has a press--as would anyone doing track work.

I look forward to seeing the pictures.
