    My Stupidity kicked in at full throttle.

    International Harvester (IH), which produced the Farmall brand, sold its farm equipment division to Tenneco in 1984, the Farmall brand itself wasn't entirely gone, as Case IH revived it in 2004, and Farmall tractors are still produced today.

    Replacement seats

    TLDR, so I'll just add this. I took my seat to a local upholstery guy, who redid it for about $95..

    Advise

    One person has mentioned KTAC, with no response from the OP. There must be more information, not yet given, that we need to hear... I would think that this dealer needs to explain this ",,, engine was blown and needed replaced." in writing and dated..

    Rope cinch

    It seems to me, as an ex-tree climber and retired carpenter kinda guy, that you'd be better off simply renting enough scaffolding to work the job.
