Thanks for the input, Karl. As soon as I got the tractor last summer, I changed the engine and transaxle oil, replaced the air, oil and hydraulic filters, changed the spark plugs and rebuilt the carb. I didn't notice any parts or shavings in the oil, but there was probably a pint of water in the transaxle. I'm guessing that was from condensation because the whole unit is pretty tight.
It seems like every step I take in fixing up the tractor adds a little more power which has become pretty impressive. After I replaced the points, the tractor had no problem pushing snow until the tires lost traction. I haven't tried plowing yet, but I might give that a try in the spring. Up 'til now, I've been pretty much a "replace the part" mechanic and started think about how much more I get out of the tractor if I knew how to tune it.
