That's kinda on the upper end for price... given what it is. MFWD would be worth considerably more.
Also keep in mind that instrument clusters in those things were fairly well known for going wonky and a good many got changed. It's easily old enough to have clocked 4K hours on the second cluster...
I'd be most concerned about how well it starts on days like this, if it burns oil, is the clutch good and crisp... do the hydraulics work correctly and kick the valve detents at idle once it's warmed up... is the steering tight and reasonable to work with....

Today's Featured Article - Fire in the Field A hay fire is no laughing matter-well, maybe one was! And a good life-lesson, too. Following World War II many farm boys returned home both older and wiser. One such man was my employer the summer I was sixteen. He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D ... [Read Article]
