Wow, congradulations on the jet jocky job. I got wings in `78 but never not past the SEL. I have to suggest that what you need is something a little more modern that the 8N/9N Fords or Farmall letter series tractors. You will need a tractor with live power! That means one that the PTO and hydraulics will continue to work when you have pushed the clutch in to stop the movement of the tractor. There are lots and lots of brands and models, but make sure it has the live or independent power to the hydraulics. It is a must for using a loader, which you'll want to clean up after horses. I'd suggest a little bit newer Ford, like a 2000 or 3000 series. Also of course look at JD and Massey models. Get one with a loader already mounted and pay a little extra to get one that has been well taken care of. The older tractors are great for some things, but not for what you are going to need a tractor for.
