Check for cracks in engine block - especially behind the carburetor. Repairs there are often hidden with bondo.
Check for cracked housings on tractor, especially final drives.
Check front axle for cracked, welded, repaired uprights as well as a cracked pivot pin tube.
Condition of sheet metal may, or may not, be important to you, but it greatly affects the value of the tractor.
Gear whine is somewhat normal and certainly very common in these models. But, the less the better. Also, any bearing noise (grinding or hissing sound) in the transmission or axles can mean repairs are needed.
Tires can be expensive. Check rims for rust, especially around valve stem holes.
Does the engine emit blue smoke? That is a sign it is using oil. Black smoke is a sign it is running rich and is normally not serious at all.
Is there a lot of loose play in the steering? Anything over 1/4 turn can be annoying as well as an indication repairs are needed.
Any major leaks besides the hydraulic leak you mentioned?
The serial number plate would be under the left side seat upright/support/bracket, on the inside, near the back and bottom - i.e., under the seat. mike
