Also will a 5hp engine power this tractor? Not to cut grass but just to ride around the yard etc?

The short answer is yes,5 HP will pull you around OK,depending on the gearing it might barley pull a hill in the higher speeds,or it might be fine in first gear...only one way to tell..
if its a vertical shaft engine though,one off a mower wont have enough weight on the flywheel to run it without the blade,so you'll need an engine off something like another riding mower,pressure washer,or tiller,that has a iron flywheel instead of aluminum one..sometimes just using a heavy enough pulley on a mower engine allows it to run OK with an aluminum flywheel..
