Hello,
The price sounds fair. That hole is for the starter. The LA had cast iron centers to the rear wheels, the L had stamped steel rear wheels. There were some less distinctive differences that I can't remember. Those holes below the seat sound like they are for the serial number tag, the absence of the tag lowers the value of the tractor as well as the missing starter, and any damage especially to the sheet metal. You can determine an approximate age by buying the parts manual from the John Deere dealer, about $20.00 if I remember right, and looking up casting numbers that have a year specific change. I've rebuilt several of the John Deere style of the Hercules engine when I worked in an engine rebuilding shop, but not done other work to the tractor. I used a model L in the late 1960's early 1970's.

They didn't start makeing LA's until 1941. So if it is an LA the earliest it could be is a 41.
