Default Thinking about picking up a 149. What to look for

I came across a 1974 149 locally. It looks to be in pretty good shape (looks better than my 128, which sat out in the weather 10 miles from the Texas coast for about 10 yrs.) I currently have a 128 with a 1A tiller that I put a creeper drive and spring lift assist on, but I am thinking a hydro tractor would be the "cat's meow". The 149 currently has a mower deck on it, but I am pretty sure that the spring assist from my 128 won't work on the 149, so I need some advice on a lift.

Is there anything in particular to ask or look at on the 149? Of course I plan to drive it and cut some grass with it if possible in order to get a general idea of it's abilities.
