This is a tractor with blown engine I hauled home from Chicago and refreshed with parts from a 300 Deere.
Most of the restoration is documented in WFM thread ... Free 316K from Chicago being restored ... southwest...
If not a WFM member I have documented some of the work completed and posted photos in Craigslist AD.
Asking price is $600 with an original Deere seat in less than desirable condition or will install a new aftermarket high back seat with arm rests and suspension for an extra $70.
Will include H047 mower deck with mule drive for another $100.
