Haven't sold any of mine (actually traded a parts machine last week) but I'd tell problems up front. That said all the things listed that the tractor in question needed seem normal to me. Actually, that list seems pretty short in reality compared to what I've had to do on the rigs in my fleet.
I bought my 86 as a non runner, from a small engine shop in town. All I got from him was it didn't run, but would turn over. Had no battery. Ended up with a broken rod (I got it cheap enough).
Not sure why he couldn't just tell me it had a broken rod, but whatever. I wanted it either way.
