You can usually find these at auctions where old farmers are retiring. They are usually in very good mechanical shape and you can pick them up at a fair price. Your other option is buy one and fix it up. If you get one that needs overhauled or something like that, you can buy them pretty cheap so you can afford to spend a little money on them. Sometimes the best way to do it is to just start asking people if they know where one is at. You may find a really good deal doing it that way. As for type, it's all up to you. If you get an old tractor, in my opinion, Farmall tractors are cheap and easy to get parts for. John Deere tractors are more pricey but still easy to get parts for and you can almost always get out of it what you have invested. Ford tractors are pretty popular but can get over priced alot of the time. They are easy to get parts for but I have seen alot of them that are being worked on all of the time. If it was me I would probably go with a John Deere 3010 or 4020, something like that. They usually run around 7000 but they are very good dependable tractors. I have seen alot of them go at auctions for 4000 to about 6000. If you find one that needs alittle work you can fix small things yourself and then you will have a good running dependable cheap tractor. Hope I helped alittle.
