Money wise, I am looking in the 6k to 9k range. I was talking with my unlce who is an auctioneer earlier and he said he thought an international 806 or something about like it would be a good tractor for what I was thinking. He says that the IH parts tend to cheaper than the JD parts, and also that the IH had better hydraulics than the JD of the same vintage. I also like the idea of the hydrostatic drive when running it as a loader tractor.

Picked up a good book on IH this evening called "International Harvester Tractors 1955-1985" by Ken Updike. Seems really informative with good useful info.isbn 0-7603-0682-6 if anyone is interested. I was surprised at the variety of tractor books, and tractor restoration books they had at the upity coffee bar bookstore.. maybe that's why the prices seem to have gone up recently... everyone needs a tractor to put in the garage of the 1/2 acre suburban house.
