It's just my opinion but I don't believe I'd drive 15 miles to look at a tractor in that condition, let alone 150. Missing air cleaner, rusted off muffler, butchered hood from what appears to be an added on fuel tank (what's wrong with the original?), all miss-matched tires, and the general appearance of something that lived a life of neglect. Positives would include the 24" tires (many have 16" tires and shorter front spindles), rear weights, at least what appears to be one good rear tire, and a mower deck mule drive assembly. It is obvious that it has the single transmission (a double transmission was optional and include a second shift lever in the hole in front of the seat) and the early style of integral hitch which pre-dated the Cat 0 3-point of latter models. Price? I'd say a few hundred at most and then only if a person needed the parts. To bring something like that back to life and looking decent would probably cost more than it was worth.
Like JD Seller said it does have a hydraulic pump but it also has the manual lift lever (that's the large lever and notched arch to the right of the platform) so would not have hydraulic lift. Not sure what this means but I do know a larger pump was used when a loader was installed so maybe the tractor was equipped this way at some point. The log splitter pump was run off of the front PTO and the whole hydraulic system was part of the attachment, not integrated into the tractor.
If you're thinking about getting a Power King or Economy tractor I can tell you that they're great little machines - sturdy, simple, and useful. I use my 2418 for many tasks around the place and really enjoy it. They're a little bigger and more capable than the average garden tractor but lighter and more nimble than the smallest farm tractors such as a Cub. I'd sure suggest one with the Cat 0 hitch and hydraulic lift to increase the usefulness, though.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Lead Substitutes - by Mike Schordine. Lead was oriinally added to gasoline as an upper cylinder lubricant. It lubes the valves and seats. If you rebuild the motor, you could use hardened seats and valves, and unleaded fuel. But if your old tractor runs good, a simple lead substitute added to the gas is a perfectly reasonable solution. And, if you are like me, your tractor is under cover, but it sits outside. So with every temperature change, the humidity in the air collects in the fuel tank, in the form of water.
