I assume this is a follow on question to your post below. The 8Ns had neither live hyds nor live pto. Step on the clutch and everything stops - tractor, pto AND hydraulics. On the 1953 and later Fords the hyd pump was run off the engine's cam shaft so clutching had no effect on hyd operation. A guy can still do a lot of work with an N but a later tractor is far more convienient for 3 point work. Ford Ns are cheap. You should be able to buy a good running 8N with good tin, engine and rubber for under $2000. If you don't get caught up in the restoration craze and spend another $3000 on it you can always get your $ back on it when funds allow an up grade or you decide you want something more modern. Some guys will tell you you GOTS to have live PTO. I don't think you do for most work an under 40 HP tractor will do. It is nice but adds a lot of cost to get a newer tractor that has it. If you buy an N get an 8N, NOT a 9N or 2N! Follow the link below for about everything you ever wanted to know about old Fords.
