Sounds like a fair deal to me! Check the engine for water in the oil, these motors were prone to blowing head gaskets if they were abused and were overheated regularly. They would also crack liners and/or the bottom of the block in the webbing between the bores, esp, between 1&2 and 3&4 cyls. Despite this they were a sound and sturdy tractor. Do not be concerned if the brakes do not seem too special, the are a dry disc type and were never the best. Keep adjusting them and they will come back with use. As you are unsure of which model it is, I am assuming it is a four cyl; however if it turns out to be a six banger grab it quick!, these are now quite rare, even in old Blighty. Good luck
