Guess I'd recommend a late model Ford 8 N, or better yet an NAA to 
preserve value.  But if you want something definitely more 
interesting and better-made I'd consider   a Ferguson TO 35 delux 
with power steering (that's my personal favorite).  'Course we all 
have our favorites!    Good luck.    John W.
