John Deere 790 purchase questions

I just bought a 2004 790 through a private sale. It has the loaded R4 tires and 300 loader. It has 150 hours on it. I don't know much about these other than posts on forums like these due to growing up on an IH farm with larger tractors. Plus it seems as though they hold their value better than most of the other compacts out there in its class. The guy I bought it from said it was a repo from a bank. He threw in a 5ft JD rotary mower that he said had came with it. Well, the mower looks as though it would have been new around 2004 when the tractor was sold. However, it has been ran through the ringer. I mean it is beat so bad there is a cirle on top of the deck from the blades touching the top of the mower. The only thing left good on the mower is the gear box. I paid under $10k for the package and am wondering if I should turn around and sell it for a small profit. I am a little leary of what type of abuse the overall tractor got due to the looks of the mower. The tractor still looks great but and the loader is definately used but, not too bad other than some scratches and scrapes. Cutting edge is still in very good shape. What would you do? I love using the tractor and it seems to run and operate like new.
