The engine should have a breather tube running down the side of the engine at the rear (engine/transmission mate line or very close to it), with the tractor warmed up fully check to see how much smoke your getting there.
You may want to have a mechanic check it out, but the good thing is this engine is wet sleeved and can easily be rebuilt. The injector pump can be rebuilt also. A good mechanic should be able to give you some idea of the cost to get everything in good working order, you need to know this.
My only concern is the seller saying he used it only to pull the spreader and is insinuating a very light load for this tractor, somehow I doubt this but that doesn't mean it is not a good tractor. My prices for the 4020 above may seem high but I was considering buying for $10,000 and a $5000 budget to restore it to excellent condition.
