1200 is not high for a diesel. That's a pretty good deal, actually. The driveshaft is the biggest maintenance issue. If the tractor has a vibration at full throttle, the driveshaft will need to be gone through, which isn't a fun job, and it'll probably cost $200+ depending on how much needs to be replaced. The fuel filters will need to be replaced and the tank may need cleaning out. I have a 782D and used to have a 1512, and both were/are fairly trouble-free, particularly the engines.
