Agree the owner might think he's got a gem and want about 10 times what the hulk is worth. If you really, really, really, really LOVE this kind of work, and can get the old bucket for a few hundred, you'll probably have some fun, esp. when you get it running. All these tractors (M and the -6 series) are kinda charming (smooth-running and fairly comfortable considering when they were made--compare them to the F-series and 10-20/15-30 types that preceded them; my spine is probably six inches shorter than it should be after spending 15 or 20 years bouncing around on the old stuff when I was younger).
