Without checking, that's about what I paid for mine two years ago. It needed the steering box repaired because the arm was loose and wore out the shaft out the bottom of the box. Somewhere in it's life, someone had replaced the steering arm with one from (as far as I can tell) a 404, and the gear had been turned 180 degrees with a new keyway milled in the shaft. It would hit the hole in the casting when turned end to end because the arm did not have enough offset in it. I bought both the gear/shaft/arm and worm gear assemblies and now it works fine. If it has PS and uses the tractor pump, the loader will be slow and I think that's the reason mine has the added pump and valves. The loader reservoir is in the frame of the loader. It appears at one time the tractor system had been used for the loader. with the added pump and valves, the loader is fast and will lift anything I have tried so far. I try not to overdo it because of the reputation of the weak front end. Also on mine, the power steering takes enough flow from the pump that when idled down the 3 point won't work. Get the engine a little above an idle and it works.
Mine had a fresh paint job on it when I got it, so it looks pretty good for a 1958 model tractor, except the side panels are missing as they seem to be on most of these. It does start and run good. One big drawback to these it that for a late '50s tractor you'd think it would have an independent PTO, but it doesn't. You will miss that when mowing.
