Hi,
Depends. I grew up running one just like that on a farm in Michigan. One of the strongest tractors ever built. They are still the number one pullers in their weight class around here. Are you going to restore it? If, yes, then you will need to look for some better sheet metal unless you are very gifted in metalwork. Does it have a magneto? If yes, they can be or become a problem and it is sometimes hard to find someone who knows how to fix them correctly. When she is running, hold both brakes firly, and listed for knocks in the engine. If the motor is warn any the crank bearings and rod bearings seem to go first. If you do buy it be sure to keep the rpm near wide open. A "B" was meant to run, or the spark plugs will gum up and start missing. Lastly, the tires look like they are worth 500, mower 500, so it might not be too bad a deal. You would own one tough tractor.
