I would encourage you to think more about a new tractor. I have a lot of love and interest in the older stuff, makes me think of my Grandpa and my Father in Law and the great times on their farms. The facts however, are that 8N is much less useful, less comfortable, less safe, and less efficient with your time and money than a new offering. What will you spend in parts, repairs and down time?
Deere is running right now and will almost continuously run 0% for 60 mos on equipment like this. No interest and take five years to pay. Spending 15-20k on a new tractor with attachments will cost you $250-325 a month and at the end of the period your machine with care and maintenance will be worth not a lot less than you paid, and still be useful for many many years. You might find its easier and smarter to own new than you presently think.
