As others have said, forget the 8n/9n/2n unless all you want to do is pull a wagon or do light work like raking. A backhoe, and I mean a real one- not one of those jokes they sell to hitch to a 3 pt., means an industrial. There are agricultural platforms with good loaders, but not backhoes.
I'd look for something at least 45 hp, with standard 3 pt. If you want a loader get one with actual power steering, not "power assist" or any of the halfway systems from the 60's. I personally don't find live power to be a huge issue, others consider anything less completely unworkable. You don't need diesel, but they sell better. Hydraulic systems varied over the decades and what you get today is nothing like what you got in '58 or even '68.
On a personal level, I like Case. You need to find what appeals to you, and then look for a good price.
