Whether you can use a wood boiler or furnace depends on what type of heat your house has:
Boiler for forced hot water, furnace for force hot air.
I have a wood boiler in my basement that circulates water through the oil boiler when wood boiler is hot, and to the zones when they call for heat. Mine is a simple relatively cheap little thing (I paid $1 K for it about 15 years ago) and not terribly efficient. I like it alot but it would be better if it were more efficent. However, better boilers run into the Thousands new; a high end one like TARM would be on the order of $7K - $8K.
The outdoor ones work about the same way, the only real negative I've heard about them is that the chimneys are not very high (10 feet maybe) and the neighbors can get tire of breathing your wood smoke right quick. If you are rural, that shouldn't be much of a problem.
The other thing about outdoor boilers is you'll need to run anti-freeze in your system rather thatn straight water.
I think outdoor boilers new cost on the order of $5K to $6K, plus parts you might be up to $7K to $8K when all is said and done.
If you live near a population center - keep your eye on craigslist. I see people giveing used indoor boiler away or at least selling them cheap with some regularity.

To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
