Might I suggest that you decide whether you want an old tractor to play with and restore, or a little more modern used tractor to perform the jobs you have to do. If the latter is the case, I would suggest going past 1965 with any Ford you might look at. A 2000, 3000, or 4000 would do what you want. A 4000 would be my choice. 8N's are cute and all that jazz, but for what they often cost, are simply poor value for a work tractor. You might find a good 3000 for little or no more money. Also, ditto on what Leland said on the Kubota. Some of those old ones can be found fairly cheap, and they will probably last you quite some time. On the other hand, if you want something to tinker with, an 8N, NAA, or 600 or 800 series tractor would do your jobs and certainly provide some tinkering time. Good luck.
