Hurst; While every one has a brand that they like you really need to decide what you want out of this tractor first. Is this a tractor that you want to use after you rebuild it?? If so decide what kind of options you want so you can narrow your search down to a smaller group. Some options you may consider..... Live pto; live hyd; hi/lo trans; diesel; power steering; locking rear axle; ect ect. The cost would be relative to how many options you need. Now on the other hand if you are just bringing a old tractor back to life to show; have the experience of rebuilding one; resale; then you need to keep your cost as low as possible. This second option is where I think you as a 15 year old fits in. To keep cost down you need to get a tractor that every one has. While I do not know about your area I would think it is like most; and the Ford N is the most popular. You can get parts every where and the supply of parts keeps the price in check. Go to e-bay and do a search on tractor parts. I think you will see more N parts than any other type of tractor. So do your home work...... Decide what is best for you.... And let us know how it turns out.
