You will still have a cub with great utility beyond snow removal. It appears to be in good shape and a cub that has sat for 6 months doesn't necessarily need a carb rebuild. Use some Marvel Mystery Oil to help clean up the fuel system and lubricate the upper engine and see how it performs after that. However, I would certainly figure out something with the owner first before I went for pick up.....a 3 wheeled cub can be a real challenge to move! 
Let us know if you are the proud owner of a 127!!!....Of course we will want pictures of its arrival.

Wouldn't be my first tractor, but my first IH built CC. But I agree, it's hard to pass up. I've had my eye on it for a while so either nobody else around here wants it or the guy isn't telling me something. Either way, I agree, if all is as it appears to be, to have a tractor with a blade around would be worth it on its own!
