I love my '49 Ford 8N. I did a working restoration on it when I got it. It ain't a trailer queen but EVERYTHING works. I know you probably need somethin more modern.....but "MY" advice is get an older AMERICAN made tractor. Maybe a Jubilee with live PTO. New parts are still readily available. Those things run forever and are made out of way better metal than anything today. That old MS sounds like it's worth lookin into.
