A few things can be noted in the video. The tractor started a bit rough and seemed to blow a lot of smoke initially but it looks like the operator was a little too heavy on the choke - it seemed to clear up and run fine once under way. The mower sounded a lot like mine in that it probably needs new bearings in the spindles or maybe an idler bearing is rough. That's not a show stopper - both are easy fixes. The vintage of this tractor would be something prior to 1975 since it does not have a regular Cat 0 three point hitch. Up through 1974 the Power King used a proprietary hitch which can be seen in the video. If you're wanting to run standard 3-point implements this could be upgraded, however. It has a single transmission as indicated by the empty rear hole where the second shift lever would be. The rear wheel weights are a nice feature as is the hydraulic lift.
In your previous post you mentioned maintaining 5 acres of lush grass. Personally I would not choose this tractor for work of this magnitude - your mowing time will be many hours. The 48" mower deck I have for my 24118 tends to struggle in thick grass and doesn't cut as good as a more modern mower since it is quite shallow. Also, in tall grass I often will double back (basically mowing twice in opposite directions) since it tends to streak. Granted, my blades aren't new - they are sharp but rounded off on the corners - and this could be part of the streaking issue but that wouldn't help the limited space under the deck. Regardless, if I were to drive that far it would have to be a real bargain - to me that would be a three digit price, definitely not four.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
