Hello Johnv2000, I am always happy to see teenagers interested in old tractors. During my high school years, I had a dream also. My dream was to get my grandfathers tractor (Case model C) from a friend of my fathers. I was able to get it, get it running for the first time in about 30-40 years. I grew up and live on a farm which is how I got my love for (old)tractors. I grew up with Allis Chalmers tractors. My first tractor was an allis chalmers model b. I restored an allis chalmers model c a few years ago. As far as price goes. OUCH. I got the tractor non running and stuffed in the woods. New tires $1,000 new paint $600 ish, engine rebuild $2,000. As those old credit card commercials went..... a lifetime of stories going forward...... PRICELESS. Guess my point here is, each tractor has a story, just like we all do, and the stories get better and better with family and friends and working on the tractor and enjoying it are just awsome! Now with my rambling to the side, I will try my best to answer some of your questions.
By searching the letgo app, craigslist, this site and by driving around as you had said, you can find just the tractor that you are looking for. A farmall cub is fairly small, easy to work on and might be a consideration. Also a ford 8n or allis chalmers b, or c, or many many others to choose from. Tires is the biggest factor in price. Tires and a running engine. If those two are at a loss, the price of the tractor is usually around scrap price. Good luck to you in your search!

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Plugs & Compression Testing - by Curtis Von Fange. The engine seems to run rough. In the exhaust you can hear an occasion 'poofing' sound like somethings not firing on all cylinders.
