Hi, This is my first post so if this is the wrong section or whatever, I apologize.
I have my eye on two tractors. One is a Ford 2n for $800 not running a bout a year or so, converted to 12 volt about 2 years ago.
The second is an IH 350 Utility with TA(torque amplifier), not running, needs distributor rebuilt, gas tank to be put back on, and a rear tire and other small stuff for $700. Has 2 pt hitch and pto.
I will see if I can knock down the prices a couple hundred dollars on each. So here's the deal. My friend got me into tractors a year ago and now I want to buy one. He made a couple thousand by plowing driveways where he lives. I want to do the same. On the big storms we get about a foot of snow. I have plans to get a scraper blade and plow with that. I know ALL about the "N" series and so I know that it will be able to handle it no problem. Besides, my friend has an 8n and that's living proof.
But what about the IH 350? I know NOTHING about them other than it has about 10-15 more hp. What is a better deal? Obviously, each will have their own problems and I will have to spend several thousand to get them running good. Should I get the 2n or IH. And what about the TA? Are those problematic? can I convert it to 3 pt hitch? expensive to do? ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.
Oh yah, I have about half an acre with a, oh I say about a 50x30 foot drive way. And that is more or less the basic size of the driveways near me. I live on a mountain, but nothing steep. All the driveways are relatively flat. Nothing more than 15 degree.
If it's too long, sorry. Just giving you something to work around.

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
