It’s got a pretty good dent up front, but is supposed to be rust free.

It looks like it has a overdrive or a PTO of some sort with that extra lever. Too bad about the dents, one broke the windshield.
I dont think this one will last long. Love to have it.
Wouldn’t that be a Four Speed tranny? This is a good base for good project. Original on top. I agree with with Lew and one probably could do a little haggling on that price. Hmm……
It’s a 3 speed. The 4 speed lever has a bend near the top. I’m thinking the other lever is for an overdrive and somebody used a factory transfer case lever to shift it.
