Depends if it has the round muffler or the updated oval muffler. The original S engine sounds different than the N series update.
A 435 is worth at least as much as a 320 in similar condition.
What options are on the tractor, what is the serial # ?
The nose cone is made out of "unatainium". The cheapest used I've ever seen was $900.00US.
An engine rebuild needs the 21 to 1 compression N sleeves and pistons & N35 injectors. Don't go bigger unless the spray cooling rods are installed.
The blower should have the end plates machined to fit the updated oil seal kit.
The springs for both the cam followers and valve springs have been improved with updates.
Pull the three bolt cover from the back of the trans which is just above the pto shaft. Look for a worn pinion gear. If it's chewed Deere has new updated R&P gears. They are also the same gears for the early 1010 to serial number 31,000. Use the low speed six tooth pinion set.
Check the front "C" shaped front axle casting. As the original "S" engine was not a cold weather starter. And many owners seemed to have no idea what a block heater was. However they could get real keen with a can of ether and a logging chain. If they didn't wreck the engine with ether. They would throw the chain around an end of the front axle, give her a yank and the dumb *sses would bust the casting.
The largest CCA vibration resistant battery and an oversized Delco starter will improve starting. Mine will fire in about two-three rotations at 25F without a block heater. Amsoil synthetic 30W engine oil doesn't get ultra thick in the cold either.
