Doesn't matter what you are purchasing. Always compare the price new vs. used. To get a feel for real market value. You can sink $5000 into a used machine repairs real quick and only have a 50+ year old used machine worth $2500.
If it doesn't have these features, walk away.
Live pto, power steering, hydraulic brakes, differential lock, high pressure/high volume hydraulics, live hydraulics, remote hydraulic connectors with scv, rops(roll over protection system), 12V factory electrics,three point hitch and a real bolted in place drawbar. A drawbar stuck through the three point hitch lower arms doesn't count.
The N series are popular on the market because they were very cheap entry level tractor in the 1930's-1950's. A lot of loyal Ford vehicle owners added to the N series sales. Now people purchase N's and find out they don't work well. Then put them up for sale yet again. Also ask your local members of the volunteer fire dept. The Ford N series is the tractor most often lifted off crushed tractor owner/operators. For $11,000 you can go to the JD dealer and purchase a 2305 with all those features and more. Plus have easy to attach loader, mower and backhoe options. No clutch to burn out or transmission gears to smash either. The 2305 has more power than the N series and with the standard equipment M4WD. It will drag an N series tractor around like a toy on loose or wet ground.

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
