Location drives the price too FYI. To me $3000 seems too high given that the TA is out and all you can say about the tires is they are round and sorta hold air. Fixing the TA requires splitting the tractor into 2 or 3 pieces. So not everybody can do that. Rear tires are expensive (FYI a 14.9x38 right now is about $700+ new). To me the tractor itself (without the loader) isn't worth much more than $1200-$1500 tops given what you have said about it. Now if the TA was good and it had decent tires then I would say the tractor alone is worth $3000 easy. The cost you would get into to fix the TA or put tires on it is in essence the cost of what it would cost somebody to rebuild a motor.
You made no mention of what kinda shape the PTO is in. Do you know? That would be a bugger if you start working the PTO hard and it starts slipping on you.
Also, what kinda shape is the steering gear in? If it's been a loader tractor it's whole life I would wonder what kinda shape the steering sector is in? Take it down the road in road gear, that will tell you real quick.
What kinda shape are the brakes in? That isn't a super huge expense to fix, but good to know (I wouldn't road test if if the brakes don't work LOL).
Maybe you have already looked at this stuff and if so then cool, just be careful about buying a pig wearing lipstick. Because at the end of the day it's still a pig.

In this area of Wisconsin, most crops are raised to support livestock production or dairy herds in various forms. Corn products were harvested for grain, and for ensilage (we always just called it 'silage'). Silo Filling Time On dairy farms back in the 30's and into the first half of the 40's, making of corn silage was done with horses pulling a corn binder producing tied bundles of fresh, sweet-smelling corn plants, nice green leaves with ear; the
