I think one of the questions only you can answer is if you buy one for $900 are you willing to put more money into it if necessary. If you need tires they will cost more than the tractor. If you get it home and doesn't charge that is more money. As far as things to look for - an H isn't any different than the typical old tractor. Does it start easily and not smoke, any leaks in the gas tank or radiator, condition of tires and rims, brakes work, any noise in the transmission. If you look in the gas tank the smell will tell you if its been sitting for a while and the gas may have gone bad. Manifold can be going bad, any patches on the transmission where a bearing may have gone bad or tried to move it with ice in it. Could have a lot of leaking oil seals and water in the transmission. If it has the old style pipe frame seat assembly I would check at the bend where the tool box is to see if it has rusted. They can rust enough to break off. I would start it, let it warm up a few minutes and drive it around. One thing all the old Farmalls would do is stick in 2 gears when the shifting lever and pivot pin wears out. I'm not sure how you know the condition until it actually sticks in two gears. Everything possibly bad is fixable for a price.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
