Hugh made a good point about the Farmalls & Utilities. If the Farmalls are worn out then get a Utility that "hasn't done any work" and you at least wont have to start rebuilding the trans/diff on them. There must have been a market for 300U's since IH built 4000 more 300U's and 7000 more 350U's than the Farmall 300 & 350's. Seriously, they are weak in the steering box. If you put a loader on one you really need power steering. On small acreage they are handier than a Farmall. Some seem to think because they farm several hundred acres that everybody does, this is not the case which is at least one reason that different types of tractors were built.
Back to your question, the price seems high for the condition of the tractor. Here in the south it might bring 900 -1100. I'd shop around some more.
