Ford parts should be readily available for most earlier models and should not be too pricey. Plenty of aftermarket competition on parts also. You should be able to find a good 860 or 861 for quite a bit less money that does not have the fancy restoration. Although the WD45 is not my cup of tea the parts should be plentiful and were many around back in the day as a testament to their usability. While we are at it if it were me I would be looking along the lines of a IH 300 or 400 or Oliver 77 or 88 or Supers. Wear parts are in good availability and parts yards should have the other parts readily available. Prices for the IH's or Oliver's should be in line with the money you are talking on the AC with some variability based on condition of the individual tractor in question. As long as you understand you are making this investment for the purpose of the enjoyment of doing it you will be fine. For a "for profit" type proposition it will not work. There are all kinds of balers around and each has its fierce proponents here but I would lean towards a Deere or New Holland. If the finances allow I would go 1970's or newer. Maybe a Deere 336 or New Holland 270 or 273.
