If you're into doing your own work and wanting to learn as you go, I think this may be an excellent way to enter the Model A world. Getting it running, steering and stopping will teach you Model A repair at low cost. Get the usual books and grab a wrench! For the price of a gasket set and rings you likely can have a decent running engine. Clean, lube and adjust the brakes and just replace what is needed. Someone in a local club may have used tires. At first, aim for a doodlebug type rig to cruise around the yard and neighborhood. A hitch and Slow Moving Vehicle sign should qualify it as a tractor. For a few hundred dollars you will have a fun rig that will get a lot of attention at shows and parades.
