Well Eric, from what you have described, they got shafted. Best priced on a fully restored, working, all correct Farmall A without hydraulics MIGHT be what they paid for it, but that is really pushing it. Closer to around $1600 +/-. To repair or replace what you have listed, and to do it correctly, you will have at least $750 + in it, and that is if you do all the work yourself.
Everyone at one time or another has bought something for WAY more than it is worth. Ususally, you don't get your money back. BTW, if they truly feel that the tractor was mis-reprented, and if the seller is laughing his way to the bank, they might be able to file a claim in small claims court. MAYBE. Local district magistrates don't usually take kindly to sheisters taking advantage of unknowing buyers.
For $2000, they could have gotten a decent Super C or an H or an M with work life left in it. Then they would have had hydraulics and a number of other good features. At the price they paid, if it had a plow, sickle mower, disk, etc. then the price would have been ok.
There are implements out there for the plain Jane A, you just have to look for them. As far as adding hydraulics, it depends upon whether or not the block has the opening for the pump.
I hate to say this, but the only way they may come close to getting their money back is to part out the whole tractor. If there are good parts on it, especially rubber, they may get close to covering their "loss".
of course, this is all IMHO. Others will weigh in, I am sure.

The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
