Default 1862 major repairs, finally

After spending the last 4 months wiring, insulating, sheeting and putting in the wood stove, I can finally go to work on the 1862 in a warm shop.
The last thing I was going to do in the fall was power wash this gooey job. That's when all spark was lost, good timing I suppose. Pushed her into the shop and here we go.
My plan of attack, submitted for your thoughts, because you all are way more reliable then my own ideas. Pull the engine and replace
ignition coils, am assuming this was the problem as all spark just quit one day on both cylinders. The engine is actually pretty clean, the rest of this machine is a mess underneath.
Secondly to work on the power steering that leaks everywhere. Yes Sam, I am finally going to put the parts you sold me way back when to use.
And lastly go after the leaks in the transmission. No idea where they are coming from all I know is that it is quite messy. Any ideas or thoughts or advice on the plan are more them welcome.
I will be at this awhile for sure, the plan is to relax and learn all I can here. I am not the quickest study but man I love to learn .

Ken
