LOL, please talk me into or out of this idea

Just got my dad's old 8n back running the way it should (thank god). But we were driving along this back road and saw something that just caught my eye. Looked like a 51 or 52 8N with the high-low tranny and all the goodies. Problem is that it has been sitting there for a number of years. Brakes are locked up on it as are many other problems I'm sure to find. My dad's is more of a work tractor than anything but I thought of maybe restoring this one. Tell me I'm nuts! The wife will kill me! But that nagging voice keeps telling me I want it LOL. If I'm not nuts, what should I pay for it. I figured being the guy's house is a junk pit I would offer him $100 to take it right now and if I tear into it and find it isn't worth it just part it out on ebay or something. What is the max I should pay for this if he won't take $100? I didn't check to see if the motor was seized but just from looking at everything else it is likely. Thanks a bunch.
