My friend has a ton of tractors and I've told him for years I want one of his older ones to restore. He finally decided he'd sell me one but I honestly know nothing about tractors. It's a 1952 Ford Model 8N. The only things I know about it is it is a 4 speed transmission, 4 cylinder gas engine, was 6 volt but has been converted to 12 volt. It runs fine but needs new tires, missing all the front sheetmetal, and has typical farm use repairs like welds on the steering linkage and what not.
A. Is this model worth restoring?
B. Are parts available for it?
C. Is it worth the $1,000 bucks he wants for it?
