A few thoughts on the steering:

Steering wobble - If the cause is worn pivot shaft bushings, $50 in parts and few hours time to R/R the front end will cure it. However if the problem's worn gears in the steering pot, parts (new worm and gear) will run several hundred $.

PS leak - You didn't mention whether it's got Charlynn or Behlen steering. If Charlynn check is the hose manifold block at the steering motor. Often this works loose and leaks LOTS of oil. Tightening the two cap screws holding the manifold block in place, and maybe replacing the two O-rings underneath will fix it. However if the motor is leaking internally the only fix is to replace it ($300 - $400).

Incidentally if the PS is Charlynn check the spline coupling at the front (output) end of the PS motor for radial play. If any is evident it will contribute to steering wobble. Figure $80 for a new coupling.

Regarding the price, if the tractor indeed has new rear tires, these alone are easily worth $600+ as rusty suggests. And if the engine miss is simple (fouled plug, loose wire, etc) the fix is easy and cheap. So $1,500 for that Super M as is may be close to a fair price.
