If it's an 885 then it should be a Case Brown, not a David Brown... and there are some differences as there always was through model/year changes. Lots of stuff is getting hard to get for them through OEM sources but no doubt there is lots of aftermarket online. Personally this would not even be a choice in terms of which one to buy. The Brown is 3 times the tractor the N ever was or is. I would say as long as the oil is clean in it, it doesn't knock or miss... then I wouldn't be too worried about the smoking. That will probably clear off once you work it hard. If it misses or has dirty oil then all bets are off... and yes, unlike most other diesels... the Brown should keep fairly clean oil. The only think I don't really care for about the Browns is that they have a very convoluted hydraulic system and the layout of a lot of other things on them are very foreign if you're used to say a Ford or IH tractor of that size. It's not necessarily a bad thing.... just that it require a different plan of attack if you're working on one.
