Think the clutch was the weak point if not respected. Couple of farms near me had them as plough tractors in the 80, remember see one drag a 8 wheeler out of a field that thing would pull. 

Hydraulics had high flow rate compared to other tractors of its time.

Might have dry disc brakes exposed under the cab, can be a fire hazard. It’s the linkage at the bottom of the gearstick that wears out, should be an easy fix though. All the controls are rods and links so a can of wd 40 would be handy. Bomb proof air cooled engine if there’s no oil leaks to clog up the cooling fins.  4wd or 2wd?
