Welcome!! What you describe on the 124 can be fairly easily fixed although a bit of work. I have never had the shifter problems but have changed a few teaser springs. That spring is part of the clutch assembly and requires some work to get to but is not near as hard as engine work. If the tractor is in working condition and the owner does not think that yellow paint is pure gold neither of the described problems would be a show stopper for me.
