I am sorry to hear that you are in a difficult situation and I offer my prayers. I have known of folks with circumstances similar to yours who wound up on the bad end of a deal, but you seem to be a knowledgeable person. The problem is that equipment prices are so difficult to set, even when something is running and in good shape. It varies a lot from place to place and even person to person. With the tractor being non-running about all you can expect is someone to buy it for price low enough that they can do quite a bit of work and still come out all right, unless they know you and have confidence that the problems you mention are about all they will run into. Do you have a mechanically inclined friend or relative who could clean up the carburetor and points enough to get it started so potential buyers could at least tell that the motor is solid? I have bought things that barely ran but didn't mind too much as long as I knew I wasn't looking at major repairs. I have even bought equipment from people I knew that was not running but I knew I could go on what they told me. I don't have any experience with that particular model of tractor, but I have messed with enough old stuff to know that some fresh gas and cleaning up a carburetor with a can or two of cleaner can most likely get it running without putting out any money. If the hydraulic leak is small enough that someone could tell if the lift is working or not, that would go a long way too. If you sell it as is, advertising it for best offer may be your most lucrative option.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
