Farmall M Engine Head Torque Specs

I recently purchased a Farmall M tractor and don"t have a service manual yet. I have a leaky head gasket and was going to re-torque the head and see if that cures the problem. Can anyone out there tell me the torque spec"s for the Farmall M cylinder head? Also in looking in the catalog to order parts, they sometimes ask which engine you have. My tractor is a 1950 model, s/n FBK 231945 and the engine number is FBK 221945X1 and it has a casting number of 5 24 T. can you tell from that which engine I have? Thanks for any help.
 
Run engine until it is up to operating temperature then torque head bolts to 110 foot/lbs. Start in the center and work to either end in a circular pattern.
