Questions on Case model L, electric start, generator

Hi All,

I have recently come across a 1938 Case model L for sale. It appears to be in good running condition on rubber with what seems to be factory electric start and generator. The owner is firm at $2500. Picture should be attached.

This would be my first Case tractor, though I have very little experience and knowledge with this type as I primarily have older Farmalls. That said, I have a few questions.

How hard is it to/where can I find parts for these? How many were made with electric start and a generator? Anything I should look out for specifically or overall on this type of tractor? From what I was told they just have one brake pedal, mainly as a parking break. Mostly would bring this to shows, though might consider pulling it as well. Has anyone else here tried pulling one?

Did tractors with a generator not have an oil filter? I found another L currently for sale in the photo ads with a starter but no generator, and what appears to be the oil filter behind the magneto. Due to the generator on the one I am looking at, the magneto appears to be pushed back to where the oil filter should be.

Last question, is the price reasonable? All I have seen in my area previously are the newer styled Case tractors which typically aren't worth that much around here so I do not have much to go off of. The closet to compare I've seen locally is a case C for $1,100 in similar condition but not running. The one for sale on this site is in WI for $1550 (third picture) in similar condition though without the generator.

Thanks in advance for any information and advice,

~FarmallCT
