Mike, I've got around $1100 in an H that is in similar shape to yours. Here is a picture. AND I've also got about $600 worth of parts that I've already bought for it - with more to come as I dig into it. My H is a family heirloom to me because it was my Dad's first tractor, and I feel just fine about the deal I made on it because the rear tires are like new (I plan to put a matched set of 45 degree lugs on it when I'm done). I think it is a fair deal, but don't cut the axles - I would be happy to trade with you and pay you a few bucks to boot money (or that belt pulley gearbox you want) for those longer axles. You would just have to wait until I come back from the farm in August... The single front will be worth more to a collector than the double wheels will cost you. The tin looks to be in fair condition as well. You need to hear it run and drive it around in all the gears. Listen for any grinds, clicks, etc. in the transmission and rearend. I pretty much threw one of my Hs away because the trans/rearend was totally shot from a bearing going out and running through all the gears. In conclusion - yes I think it is a good deal, but you need to make the final decision - it will require a fair investment to get restored.
