Sounds like a good deal to me, if it's only going to cost you some time.

Depending how long it has been sitting, it could have weak valve springs, or rusty piston rings. I really havent had any problems for motors sitting for 2 years.

I had a truck last year that had sat for almost 4 years, had to replace the fuel lines, but that was about it. I sold it last August and it was driven to Baltimore 3 weeks later, and is still running, reliably.

Sounds great! Hire a teenager to help you pound the posts. If the ground is not too rocky, you got a good deal.
