Recently posted near me, what model, thoughts on issue given recent transmission replacement needing TLC yet runs  and drives in description. Seller asking $300.00 obo. Worth the asking price?

Looks to be a mutant. Incorrect engine, questionable front wheel modifications. The biggie - no belt guard. Missing one or both foot rests. Only worth it if ALL the OE parts come with it - in useable condition. My

Looks to have a Honda or Honda clone on it. I don't think it's worth it because it's missing lots of OE parts.

With that large engine pulley, its set up to go fast.

Those tires say mud mower to me,  lots of abuse.

Inspect F plate thoroughly for cracks.

Looks like ID tag is on hood stand below dash.

Looks like a 78-79 C series going by the hood stand. But who knows, it’s been built with all sorts of parts. 
  Worth $300? Nope

Those rat rod tractors show up in marketplace up here -  to me personally they're not worth anything - most are cut up and beat to pieces like that one.

$300 is what I gave for this C-141 Auto - and it came with a mower deck.

Have patience and seek out a better deal.

I agree with the rest, it ain't worth that as it sits... OTOH I could justify it if I already had a horse that needed repair parts for the trans. - easily could spend twice that buying parts for transmission.. but the rest of it looks so roached, only other workable pieces might be the frame and possibly front axle, hood and hood stand... so those 4 areas would definitely need careful checking over to be sure they were all in solid shape to even be worth it as a parts unit or "ground up" frame resto.

Agree with the rest,looks like  a C as Sparky has said not worth asking price IMHO, looks to have been abused.

Thank you all. Will pass, even as a parts tractor

Another point: that poor machine has not only been butchered, but what was left has likely been horribly mistreated. 

 

While these old iron machines are rugged, they do wear out even when maintained. Beating them up and running the transmission at many times faster than intended makes that tractor a scrap machine in my mind. 

 

Better options do exist. Be patient and you'll find one.
