Heres a pic of my 1981 231 industrial painted like a 2600. Only real difference is the lower profile (shorter front spindles and shorter tires) most around here call them golf course mowers.
The gas is less desirable, just a fact. And it will drink some fuel if you are running it hard with a brush hog, or similar implement. New starter is worth a few, tires can set you back 600 a pair maybe more. As far as steering, if you are not putting a loader on it, manual steering is fine, but power is nice. Make sure the 3 point lifts easily, and when you disengage the PTO shaft it quits spinning. Check it with nothing attached to the tractor, sometimes the weight of the PTO shaft and gearbox of the brush hog will keep it from spinning, so you want to check it bare. If it is spinning when disengaged, it may just need adjustment, or you may need the fingers I mentioned previously. Check and make sure the engine has good compression and is not running rich. If I remember correctly, on the Holley carbs, the seat of the carb is not-replaceable so once it wears and starts running rich there is not much you can do. Someone else might be able to add more info, its been a few years since I tinkered with the carb on mine. Rough condition brush hog $250 or more.
Around my neck of the woods this tractor would probably price around $3500, especially needing tires and manual steering. Me, I'd run the tires until they blow or no tread left.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
