Evening Felix,
Welcome to the show! The beauty part about a Greenie Tractor model is the extent to which they are almost infinitely repairable!! Are just unstoppable!
It goes! If it runs strong and is relatively smoke free your off to a good start. Bit of an oil change, clean and oil the air filter, fresh spark plug never hurts, drop of oil on all the pivots and see how you go! Just run ordinary SAE 30. No need to muck about with multi-grade in our climate.
Get your feet under the table, so to speak, and if the forward clutch thing turns out to be a problem then there are a few good old posts on the subject and plenty of help available!

Cheers,
