Everyone has made lots of good points. I'll try to add a couple more. Is your place flat or hilly? If you have hills, an 8N with a loader, no power steering, and no live PTO will make life "interesting" if you try to stop while mowing and going downhill.

Best advice is find a dealer that you trust that will service or sell parts for you tractor.
