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.
What brand of oil doesn't matter. Some guys say it's gotta be Shell's Rotella oil. Some swear by using JD brand oil. Truth is, any oil today is better than the oil of yesteryear and will be fine.
