First of all, I would not consider an 8N or any other gas tractor as the best general purpose tractor. Get you a diesel. Like a Ford 2000 or 3000, or a Massey Ferguson 135 or 150. You don"t sound like you"re going to be using your tractor every day. One of the most aggravating things about a gas tractor is finding the fuel tank empty after you walk away from it far awhile and having to refuel it. And if you let it sit for a few weeks or months the carburetor will probably be all gummed up and it won"t even run right if at all. But if it"s a diesel, you could walk away from it for several years even, come back and find most of the fuel still in the tank, stick a hot battery on it, fire it up and go to work. No carburetor to worry about. No spark plugs to change. No distributor cap or plug wires to change. No points to set. And diesel runs cooler, is far safer to store, and actually helps lubricate the engine because it"s an oil. Get a diesel. A Ford 3000 would probably be my first choice, followed by the Massey Ferguson 135, followed by the John Deere 830, followed by a 400 series International.
