I agree with Dean below. For $2k you should be able to get a decent running 8N. On 8-10 acres it will do everything you need it to do. Skip the 9N/2Ns. If you don't know what the difference is check out John Smith's great site at the link below.
Just don't get into the restoration thing. Because after you have stuck another $1500-$2000 into you'll still have a tractor that is only worth $2500 and kick yourself for not spending your money on a better tractor to begin with.
I don't know why when the topic of the Ford Ns comes up the N haters come crawling out of the woodwork. I suppose it's because they once bought one thinking it would do the work of a JD 4020. Or maybe they are jealous because their beloved Hs, Bs and Cs are just drawbar tractors after all and wont do the simple task that this 1939 9N can easily do.
