The problem with these old tractors is they drop in pricer every year. You can buy a nicely restored 9N, 8N , Jubilee etc for a quarter of what it cost to restore one.

I have 2 times already in my 2000 what it is worth w/o restoration even started. Figure on $1200-1400 for new rear tires right off the bat-labor etc. I had $1350 in my rear tires with labor.-they had to stop at the house remove them, took them back to shop to remove fluid, Gave me back the rims which I had sandlblasted and painted myself and another visit out to the house to put them back on.
