The seal is no big deal. You remove the complete hood, muffler and the PTO, pull the old seal out and put the new one in. I'd be more concerned about some of the other issues on it like why is the mule drive not straight with the frame? The 2284 I have for sale also had a surging issue turned out to be the SAM ignition and coils were bad. You get to remove the engine to fix that. Check the CV joints on the drive shaft and see if they have ever been greased. If not and the shaft splines are shot you have a problem, the shaft is NLA.
I know NY is a bit of a haul but I have 2 killer Supers for sale with brand new engines. PM me with your phone # if you have any more questions.
