It's all a matter of opinion -- if he wants a restored tractor with a rebuilt engine, that's ok. A simple compression test should be done first. If that's ok, leave it alone -- if he's willing to risk the bearings, etc. Others want unrestored tractors, that's ok too. I do tractors as a hobby, not for the money. I have no problem with Steven's comments, below. But, I fix "most" of what needs to be done, completely disassemble, strip to bare metal and paint. Any body filler I use will never fall out, because I keep it very thin. The decals are correct. Most repainted tractors I see for sale are disaster areas.
