(quoted from post at 10:04:18 08/21/15) Right - an 8N (or 9N or2N) would not be a good choice because of the lack of live hydraulics. All Fords from 1953 on have live hydraulics. If you want live pto as well (not needed for a chipper, but as others said, you may want it later), 1955 was the first year it was available. Any of the hundred series with a 6 as the middle digit of the model number.
(quoted from post at 13:19:22 08/21/15) I'd say look for any 800, 801, or 4-cylinder 4000. Or
900/901 if you like rowcrops. Those all have live
hydraulics and 45 h.p. or a bit more. Staying with a
single clutch/non-live pto will save you a bit on
purchase price, and in the event you have to replace
the clutch. I WOULD lean towards the 5-speed
because of better gear ratios.

Yeah, I have 8 forward 2 reverse on the John Deere 770 and find myself needing something in between both in forward and reverse. I am concerned about a classic Ford with only 4 gears. On the other hand, it's a classic right? So, if it takes a little longer to not abuse the machine, it just means more time enjoying my machine.

With what you have posted...I agree with FordFarmer..
850, 851, for the 5-speed and power,
860,861,960,961 or 4cyl 4000, for 5-speed,power, and live pto
but
I googled a pic of your Deere....if that is what you are used to now..very hard to go backwards in tractors.
I might consider just a [i:b9b00bed1d]little[/i:b9b00bed1d] newer. won't cost much more than a decent 861.
3000 or 4000 3cyl blue Ford with dual range trans, lots of diesel power and power steering...........
