4020 fix it or forget it?

The 4020 is one of my favorite tractors ever built. It may not be the best for the OP’s needs but a very useful tractor no doubt. This one however would be a money pit.

8n’s can do the same amount of work in the same amount of time as when they were new. Nothing wrong with using one today. Newer tractors are just more versatile and easier to use.

Any tractor can be a money pit as it is repaired or restored to a useable condition.
Hopefully when done the repairs cease, the only problem is then the upgrades start.
The 4020 will be more then 10 times the tractor any of the Ford 2,8 or 9 N's ever were.
The early Fords and all the other brands were all major step ups from horses or mule or oxen.
