Your right, it's the heat that kills the K46. I would feel better with a blower than a blade. 200+ hrs on a 5 year old tractor doesn't seem bad and wouldn't worry me. Other than checking the oil, and starting and running the tractor, look for smoke on startup, and while running. Try the tranny, full speed uphill? Full speed reverse? Let the tranny warm up and check it again. If she won't let you run it long enough to bring the engine and tranny to full temp, walk away.
If you do buy it, then change the tranny oil to 5W-50 synthetic at your first opportunity.
