8N is an excellent choice! A Farmall "A" will work, somewhat, but the PTO shaft is offset and it is also only about 16 HP.

I have ag on both front and rear, and find the only time I tear anything up is with the fronts - by turning to sharp when the ground is wet. The non-live PTO thing is easy to get used to (be sure to get an overrunning clutch adapter for it).
