The pipe from the manifold goes up into the muffler and holes along the outside bottom typically will be ok. I've bought stuff like that before and were still ok. I'm saying this sight un-seen though.

As another guy posted, you have to pull on the fan blades to see if the motor moves or not. It may be very lightly stuck or stiff if it hasn't run in a while. You have to forcefully push/pull on one of the blades. If the belt slips you'll have to put some tension on the slack side with your other hand.

All that said I've seen ads before where people were trying to re-sell yard art tractors and they were way overpriced. If you can't hear it run or try it out it's worth what it weighs in your area. The exception is if it's something rare or unusual or you can do an advanced pre-buy inspection (not likely).
