Jason,
I think I see the dilemma here. You have found a 9N that you want and you"re looking for reasons to justify buying it. The folks have done their best to tell you to forget it. I"ll tell you the same. A 9N Ford is about as useless as teats on a boar hog...and especially for what you need. Walk away and forget you ever found it.
Spend some time shopping around...you may have to drive some distance to find the machine you NEED.
B&D gave you the straight poop on mechanical requirements....heed that advice to the letter.
I have searched for years to find a JD 900HC. I was thinking they were more on the lines of an offset 950 instead of the 850. Regardless of which, they"d be my first choice, based on my prior experience with the 1050. Had JD built an offset on the 1050, it would have been the ne plus ultra of one row cultivating tractors.
Although it hasn"t been mentioned, it appears that cash outlay is of a concern. I think for what you need.....you can expect to spend $5,000 and from there, the sky is the limit. The 9N is not a bargain for your uses at $500.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. 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.
