First off, it doesn't make a lot of sense for it not to run if the radiator cap was off and then it rained. That shouldn't really matter. Water is used along with coolant to help cool the engine so if it rained with the cap off, the tractor should still run. There might be some other reason for it not running. Check the electrical system. If for some reason the guy meant the distributor cap was off when it rained, then that might be the problem. $2300 sounds a little high. Especially if it doesn't run. I wouldn't go any higher than $2000 for a non-runner. Before you buy or make any deposit, try to hand crank the motor if possible to check to see if the motor is free. If it's stuck and you don't know about it until you get it home, you're in for disappointment. As far as the rust goes, a battery box lid is easy to get and the surface rust will come off with a fine-medium grade wire wheel or sand blasting. Tires are fairly easy as long as you know what you're looking for. Don't get too deep into the price if it needs too much. Make sure it turns over and isn't cracked anywhere before you buy. Good luck.
