An AC D-14 would be about right. A D-10, D-12 or d-15 too although likely more in the $2500 neighborhood. An AC WD or WD 45 would do nicely for around $800 to $1500. You may need to add a 3 point conversion to any of those. Their snap coupler equipment is great but can be hard to find. You'll have live PTO through their hand clutch or Power Director. You can't go wrong with a MF 35 or 135, or a Ford 2000, 3000 or 4000. Some of the older Fords also had live PTO. Not the N series however. Olivers are good tractors and not very expensive, an Oliver 550 would be great if you could find one. A JD 420 would also be a very good tractor for what you want to do. With any of these I would suggest a wide front end. With the AC WD or WD45, you could always change the narrow to wide at a later date if you didn't find a wide front right off. Farmalls and International tractors would work for you also, but I think you will have to look at number series tractors to get a lift system and live PTO. I don't think tractors like the M and C have those. Check dealer lots and local farm auctions and see what tractors were popular in your area in the 1960's and 1970's. Don't go back as far as the 1940's.
