There is nothing quite like jumping into 10 more projects when there are 
already 50 that aren't quite finished!

 6500 is a lot of running  time, although the way it runs (no smoke) sounds like it may have been at least reringed sometime in the past or just taken good care of. Those Ford 3 cylinder engines are GOOD motors.
A lot of the smaller tobacco farmers, 5-10 acres traded their 8n-9n tractors in on either 2110 or 2000 Fords back in the late 60s or early 70s. And use the tractors plowing ,setting, cultivating, spraying, and anything else that a tractor was needed for. And do it with one tractor. We had a neighbor that put over 10000 hours on his little 3 cylinder ford.
And it still run good, you could see a little oil smoke once it warmed up.
Also could smell oil burning when riding the setter, but it never fouled the plugs. And it did not loose about a pint in 8-10 hours running.
And you know how slow the engine is turning while setting tobacco slips. If you like it GO for it !
But study the affects of the hoe before you hook up to the 3 pt.
