I need a little advice. Looking at a '55 300 U for $1,800; Not three point or TA, engine reputedly rebuilt, in frame, recently. Does show new head nuts, head gasket, and newer manifold. Runs smooth, hot oil pressure slightly above half way up gauge, the one cylinder I checked had compression of 145 lbs. Seems to run rich, plug pretty black. Some dings in hood, not badly beat, a little oil at rear seal junction, left axle seal leaks, as does the right, but less. Tires good, but checked(rear). Steering tight, no gear noise, clock works, showing 1015 hours(probably one flip over?) Has the GMC/ballast resistor 12 volt conversion, no three point. Seller will include a new three point conversion including cylinder for another $550. Can get a large pull behind mower, in good shape, very heavy duty for $200...total of $2550 for the package...what do you think? Thanks, George H
