The very first thing I would do is order a shop manual!
Then change all the fluids.
Those are known for collecting water in the transmission, especially if it's been stored outside. Check the shifter boots and the top link boot under the seat.
Check the air cleaner canister. That is an area often overlooked, up inside where the mesh is.
As for the rear main seal leaking, I would let that be for a while, see how everything else does. Watch the engine oil pressure, work it, watch for oil smoke. See how the clutch and PTO work, transmission noises... That way when you do go in after the oil leak, you will know what else needs fixing, only split it once and do everything needed.
In the mean time, carefully monitor the engine oil, get an idea how much it is consuming, and try running it a little below the add line. That will usually reduce the main seal leak drastically. And,take the crankcase vent tube off, clean it out. If clogged it will build pressure and blow oil out the seals. Be sure the engine is coming up to temperature. If it's running cold it will have more blow by. When you change the oil, go with a 15-w40 diesel oil. That is a good happy medium for that engine.
Sounds like you got a heck of a deal! Ask as many questions as you like, that way we all learn something!
