A "GOOD" loader will add $1000 or more to most any tractor. A loader is very handy. Big plus.
Ether starting can mean a few things. Might mean low compression. NOT a good thing, especially on a diesel.
A loader tractor is hard on tires. If you plan on using it much, new tires are in order. ($750 for 4 CHEAP tires mounted)
Seal can be fixed. (Check and see if it"s not hydraulic leak(s). Old loader tractors are almost always covered with oil) Question is, do you want to work on a tractor right now?
If I had that tractor/loader, and wanted to sell it, I"d start off asking about what he"s asking. I"d also expect to actually SELL it for around $2000 (US) in it"s present condition.
Might be better off shopping around. John
