That antifreeze leak from the head gasket under full load is very typical of an older Deere. Can't tell you how many times I've seen that. Fortunatly, they are not hard to fix.

At least you'll get to inspect the pistons and sleeves while you're in there, and you'll know what you've got when you're done. Try to get the seller to knock $500 or so off of his price.
