Thanks for the reply and opinions, Gordon. 
I haven't been able to drive it, the tires are pretty much shredded. I did rock it with the clutch, it seemed fine, the PTO works and the gears never gave me any trouble back in the day. The hood has no paint but is straight, no holes or dents. One side panel has rust-through, but I have a replacement. I picked up a pair of fenders with flaking paint, but they are dent free and never rusted. The front cowl has a couple of dents, I'm going to try to find someone who can do a pro job of getting them out. Rims are indeed solid, the tires were never loaded. You have a very good eye.
I believe I will proceed with getting the tires. At some point I even have a wide front to go on, I'm very excited about that!
Here's a pic of it from 5 or so years ago.
