A 4 cylinder 23C engine may put him off for life, as they are 1 of the most complex and delicate engines to get to start, so not a good idea reallyA small ferguson, simple to work on, excellent parts availability and knowledge available.

No v5 but original reg plate is still on tractor. 4 cylinder so takes abit to get started from cold but once warm its fine.www.ebay.co.uk
It would need a back end from a standard one really as that one most probably will have a single shaft back end? No live drive? Just guessing
It’s a cheap Ford that’s for sure, it’s at David Brown money
Milky oil means it needs some attention and Tidy ones are more than double so potential for some reward for the hard work is possible and possible to trade up to a more usable machine if he shows real interest also depending on age get a v5 insure in his name and build some history
