If you restore a 135 you will have a decent tractor big enough to so most jobs and small enough to do most jobs.
I would stick with a diesel / 8 speed / power steering tractor.
I would not want a loader on one, but a loader on a 135 is better than no loader at all.
Not sure on your budget and what you plan to spend on restoration, but you can buy a decent shape 40-50 PTO HP 2wd tractor for 6-9k
Also look at MF 240, newer version of the 135. We have one and it's a great little tractor.
I would not waste any time or money on any of these CUT models (toys) from any brand unless you only want to have a belly mount mower and plow your driveway a few times a year.
Check out IH as well, 484/485/495 are decent models and have all the nice "modern" features but are still "old" technology and built to last.
