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 - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders.
