Gas tractors don"t get much respect in the marketplace, it may still only be worth $3000 to $6000 after you repair it, depending on condition, tires, and your location.
Bid on it as if it needs a complete engine overhaul and probably a rebuilt clutch and reground camshaft too while you have it apart that far. A reground cam shaft, a rebuilt distributor and a carburator overhaul are not absolutly nesessary, but at 40 years old, they could pay for themselves quickly in fuel savings if you plan to use the tractor much. Figure $2,500+ to fix it if you put any value on your labor. That way if it only takes $1000 (for parts, gaskets and your labor) to fix just the one cylinder, that"s your gain and yours to worry about in the future.
$1,500 to $2,500 as-is should be a fair price for the tractor, depending on the tires and general condition.
Spend some time diagnosing it before you tear down the engine. A compression test and leakdown test could tell you what condition the other cylinders are in before you pull the head off.
