:D 
I had not seen it before I bought it (this is the second one that I have bought on ebay). I was pleasantly surprised when I did see it. The under carriage is like new. The drive sprockets are the "new" type and the pins and bushings are new. The fellow who I got it from told me it had been his father's for 40 years and he was the second owner. He also claimed that it had been "completely rebuilt" shortly before his father stopped farming.
I see no reason to think that is not the case.
The hill side hitch on this one is identical to the one we had when I was a kid and this tractor was originally sold by the same dealer as my father dealt with in Ono PA.
