It depends on what your objective is and how much time you have. When I buy a tractor, I check compression on the engine, unless it is more than a "reasonable" difference from new specs, and if the readings differ less than 10% from each other, I leave it alone. But, I ALWAYS pull the trans cover, look inside and clean all the old oil, crud, etc out of it. You will likely find that the gears are worn about 30%. With no missing teeth or ready to fail bearings, if you heard no noises, that is probably OK, unless you plan to really use the tractor. Word of warning. If the top cover on your 300U is like the one on my 460U, you many have trouble getting the thing off. The 460U cover is 2-3"? inches thick, meaning that the bolts are rusted in that depth. I broke a couple of mine off and then hung the rear of the tractor by the boltless rear cover for a couple of days before I was able to work it loose -- have fun!
