Your story has touched a lot of the old guys here. If you liced close I'd give you a tractor. Lot's of good advice, it's all free, so here's mine.

Since you have a yard large enough for some fruit trees and a large garden, you likely have enough room for another lawn mower. Although I'm partial to Farmalls, and Cubs are great, your son will think any John Deere lawn tractor is a tractor. If you can get him an electric start one, you can put a trailer behind it and use it to haul garden stuff around. Working on a lawn mower is good experience toward doing mechanics. Cleaning out the carburetor, changing the battery, replacing cables and wires are all good learning activities which can make a junk mower a great garden tractor.

As you know mechanics is a skill he will use all his life whether he stays with farming or becomes a concert pianist. However with your genes he'll likely stay around the land.

Later on you can get a Cub, JD M, etc. when you have a place of your own.

I'd like to say a word about your ex, but the site has filters...
