All the utility tractors of the Ford 8N era were cramped and confined for big guys. I'm 6'-5" and went through the same thing with an old Ferguson 30. In 1971 I bought a Massey Ferguson 150 and still own it. MUCH better ergonomics due primarily to a better seat arraingment and a steering wheel position that allows me more leg room.
Tractors from the 60's and 70's will seem light years ahead of the N's. Better power, better braking, Live power, better and more gearing, improved ergonomics, the list goes on and on.
The 150 is essentially a variation of the 135. The diesel versions of either had what is probably the best small diesel ever built in the Perkins AD3-152. Great fuel economy, they last forever, and if you do need to rebuild, they're among the lowest priced engine kits on the market. Parts for the 100 series MF's are easy to get ahold of through AGCO/MF or dozens of aftermarket sources. Loads of 135's around too. They'll be easy to find.
