If it is just a "cosmetic" fire, I would not be too concerned, but if it were hot enough to really burn the paint, that may not be a good thing to "aquire". It could have done some structural damage to the metal. You would have to replace every seal and gasket and o-ring in the rear end if it were a real hot fire.

If it's free, why not?

For free, even parting it out is profit.
But if the tractor can be seen to not be leaking fluids, and the main castings are still painted (even if stained), I would say rebuild it. It is a nice tractor to have, and might influence you in the long wave spectrum end of tractors. That last part is because of your handle JimN

I have benn told to never look a gift horse under the tail. You can not recover any freebee that you pass over. Got a roll back and get home.

You know, a 664 is pretty rare, so that alone would make me want to take it home for that price.
