What is it, What's it worth?

A friend gave me this old small tractor 15 years ago and I put it in a shed and haven't done anything with it.
I am in the slow process of moving to my new property and don't want to junk it if it has value.
The hood/grill has "CUSTOM" cast in the top front of it.

I'm betting they are making room for a Harley V-Twin!

Thanks, Ya'll pointed me in the right direction.
After looking and reading I did remember that the friend also gave me a deck that didn't seem to go with it.
After reading about the tractors some had an aluminum deck with two gearboxes.
Sometime in the past I scraped the deck for the aluminum!

I guess I will try to find it a home instead of scraping it.
