Brenden is right about fitting a loader. Plan for a couple weekends of solid work, unless it came off the same make and model. I fitted a tube style loader to my 8N, and it was a heck of a job. I burned plenty of steel, grinding, fitting, welding, etc.
That running Ford 3000 for the price was a heck of a deal. I've been looking for months to find a decent 50-60HP tractor with PS that all runs for under $3000. If you find one, and everything does indeed work - buy it quick.
I would suggest focusing less on the make and model, and more on the condition and features. I was on MN craigslist a while back and saw a Allis Chalmers WD with a loader that looked pretty good. No PS, but for the price - even though it's old, he said everything was working and a fairly new clutch. I think the price was $2800. Might need to fit a 3 point, but since it already has a loader, that's a bonus. Also in the midwest might consider a Farmall with one of those Du-al or FarmHand loaders on it.
Vintage tractors aren't so important on the make and model, but how much work is needed to get it running right, and shift, stop, turn, etc.
