Just a few things i can think of, Check condition of oil if you can, loosen the drain enough to see if any water is in the bottom of the pan. Check the coolant in the radiator for cleanliness,oil film on the top.See if the brakes work. Slop in the steering, turn the steering wheel and see how much it takes to move the tires. Check the fuel tank for rust or evidence of leakage. Check to see if starter works, See if the generator,carb,linkages,control rods is still on the tractor.

Seing how you plan on making a show tractor the condition of the tires may not be a factor , but look for rusted through areas or welds on the rims.See if it will go in all the gears.

It must be a nice one if it doesn't run and wants $800. Hard to tell if it might need major work on the inside.
