Adding a turbo is absolutely a BAD idea.
First off you will NEVER get what you paid for the turbo back out of the tractor when you sell it. The whole is always worth less than the sum of the parts when it comes to tractors.
Second off in another thread you question the condition of the engine. If you doubt the engine, why would you stress it by adding a turbo?
Frankly it sounds like you're new to all this. Go ahead with your plans however you want but don't be surprised when all is said and done that you end up losing several thousand dollars in the sale, or end up with a grossly overpriced tractor that nobody will buy. A first timer doing his first time overhaul and first time paint job is not going to rake in the top dollar that a well known tractor restorer might. The tractor would have to look perfect UP CLOSE, feel perfect, run perfect, drive perfect to get back the $20,000 you could easily invest in this project if you do everything you say.
For there to be money in it at all you would have to get the tractor for a bargain (or steal it), luck out on it having a good engine, hope it doesn't need much in the way of major mechanical work, do all the minor mechanical work yourself, put a reasonably good paint job on it. If you have to put tires on it that's going to cut into your profits.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
