My great grandmothers farm has a 1953-1955 IH R110 sitting in the barn. I don't think the farm is going to be in the family much longer so I started seeing what I might be interested in getting for sentimental reasons. Talked to my uncle and I'm looking to get the truck. Price is $1500 (lots of family). I'm probably not going to be able to go look it over for a couple weeks.
He told me the starter went out in it about 35 years ago and it has sat in the barn ever since. I asked him if it has hydraulic brakes and he says it does but the lines are dry rotted. Has a little bit of rust here and there but is pretty solid overall.
I'm going to make a couple trips to look it over. What are the things on a truck like this that I should do or look over?
Does this truck have poured bearings? My local shop said that isn't a big deal and they can rebuild it but another guy told me that can be a problem.
I have never dealt with a vehicle that has sat this long so other than putting fresh fuel in it is there anything else I need to do to try and get it to start after a starter rebuild? I will have help along the way through this process but just a little curious now what I need to prepare for.

My dad had a tractor, a Farmall A which was used mostly to run the thrashing machine, a seed drill and for plowing.
