There's been a lot of hay baled with 8N Fords. If you think repair of his tractor is out of the question, and he otherwise gets along with an 8N, I would advise looking for an H, SH or 300. They are plenty big enough to pull a square baler and will never break the bank for repairs. And fuel consumption is not all that bad for mowing, raking, and baling. Plus, they think 87 octane is just a fine fuel. An M is not too big, but just uses more fuel. You can pay $2,000 for a semi-restored H and get a tractor which will serve him for many years, and look good at the same time.
The later tractors, from the early sixties are much more prone to cause you problems and take a real mechanic to fix. I can fix my own H or M. They also require better fuel. Compare a 1950 Dodge 1/2 ton flathead with a 1960's Super Bee and you get the picture.
