I wouldn't worry in the least bit about using detergent oil in it. For a small gas engine like that, I'd go with a 10W-30, espescially this ime of year if you live in a place that gets cold at all.
Unless you work it hard plowing etc. and put a lot of hours on it (not too common to work any old Ford N series that hard anymore) I wouldn't bother getting 15w-40 just for that tractor. If you have other tractors or use 15w-40 in anything else and you have it already, then I'd go ahead and use it because it would be convienient.
