A compression check! I wouldn't be worried about that at this price. They will part out quite a bit more than 1500 bucks. When I buy an old tractor especially a cheap one, I fully expect there to problems here and there including needing an engine rebuild on some. A lot of times low or no compression on one that has set only means a valve or two may be stuck or not seating properly. In most cases that is a easy fix. I bought a 450 diesel from a guy that couldn't get it to run, but it would turn over and block wasn't busted as I could tell. I gave 800 for it and would't have dreamed of even trying to start it on site. The price would have gone up. After getting it home I cleaned tanks ,drained all filters and traps added gas and a fresh battery, and she took right off after bleeding and all. So far I have planted 120 acres of corn with it this year. It does need a lot of tinkering type stuff done to it, but it would have cost me 1500 if it had ran for the previous owner.
