Not to be snarky, just trying to put things in perspective. How familiar are you with diesel engines?

A lot of people that hear diesel engines for the first time think there is something wrong when it is actually just they way they work.

One of the first things that comes to mind is the injection pump timing. Usually a simple fix for an experienced mechanic but a bit more trial and error for us shade tree do it yourself types.

It would help us to better understand your question if you gave us more information.
How easily does it start?
At what temperatures?
Does the sound go away after it is warmed up?
What kind of smoke are you seeing from the exhaust, blue, black or white/grey?
How is the oil consumption?
When was the engine oil last changed?
When was the injection pump oil changed (assuming it has it's own sump)?
Does the noise get louder under heavy load?

As for engine prices I would suggest looking at some online dealers like Affordable or Circle G for parts, blocks or complete assemblies.
Paying someone to to do the work will vary wildly by location and competence of who you hire.

Where are you located (roughly)?

Yikes.
I'm not familiar with that particular tractor or engine. My first instinct would be to drain the oil and look for metal in the pan and open up the oil filter and look there too. Then probably drop the pan and see what the lower end looks like inside.
If you find the engine data tag you can do a more specific web search to look for used engines.
Depending on the condition of the tractor, you might be better off with a short block or complete assembly from one of the tractor dealers. At least you could get prices from them to use as a basis for your used search.
Best of luck.

A bad fuel injector can cause the engine to sound like a bad bearing.
