Just some suggestions. If you are looking for a good utility tractor. I would pass on the Ford 9N/8N. They are good tractors, but as log as your looking get all the convinenances of a little more technology.
I will prefface that I am a Ferguson guy and know that line best.
I would look at the Ferguson TO-35, F-40, MF-50, MF-65, MF-35, MF-135 or MF-165. In the ford line these would correspond to the 600 and 800 series and some later modles I do not really know... ford 2000 perhaps.
The reason, you will want, live power, independant PTO, position control, power steering if available. Little more power 30 to 40 HP range instead of the 20 hp of the 9N.
Cost wise... 9N/8N are in the $1K to $3K range for avrage condition tractors. The ones I listed run in the $1.5K to $3.5K range for the -35's $2K to 4.5K for the -40, -65, -50. and 3K to 6K for the rest. You Get a whole lot more for the same money...
You may also want to look at some 1970's vintage models.. MF200 series. These are getting down into the sub $5000 range.
Maybe the best approach could be to figure out how much you are willing to invest, then ask the board or even the individual brand boards... How much tractor can I get for $______ this.
Be sure to list what jobs you want to acomplish with it.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
