Chris,
Looks like you got a complete, low hour tractor that will be a good machine when you get it serviced and back in operation.
Were there any attachments with it or a deck?
Be sure to put hydraulic oil in the transmission BEFORE you start the engine, as the pump is directly connected to the driveshaft and will start turning as soon as the crankshaft does. Running that pump when it is dry will damage it !! When you replace the transmission filter, be certain it is rated for hydraulic service -- some physically similar filters will not work well in this application.
You will probably want to clean the carburetor well if gas has dried out in it because the small orifices will be plugged. Use only solvents and compressed air, not a metallic wire or drill.
