I would prefer something from the late 1950s or newer, that has better features and much safer than the Ford N series.
Look for good brakes. That is a weak point on many older tractors. You want this thing safe.
Others have covered the live pto, etc. etc. I agree with them. The Oliver 55, 550, etc. Ford 660, 860, 960. IHC 300 or better.
And get the brakes fixed, they are _always_ shot.
My wife likes the Ford TW-20 the best, radio, cab with rollcage, heater, she will use that for 10 hours a day if I let her.
She likes to bob around with the NH 1720 - she actually signed the check for that one - as it has good brakes, I loaded the rear tires so it is stable, starts well, is easy to get on & off, the loader is easy to operate, the brakes work.
The rest of my tractors, the old gas warriors, she's not so kean on. Gotta choke them, baby them to start, poor brakes, different shifting, power steering not as good, etc.
