What is a good old tractor to buy for a small farm?

I am looking to buy a small organic farm in Vermont, and want an older, simple, reliable tractor. The land is level, 20 acres of tillable land, 20 acres of timber. It will need to pull a plow, rake, logs, wagon and a combine if I can find an old one. I prefer a diesel, and parts should be readily available. Something along the line an Allis Chalmers D17 diesel makes me smile!

A John Deere 3020 comes to mind. Do a search on Machinefinder.com
for a 40-100 hp tractor and see what comes up.

Bear in mind that some of the old tractors you might be thinking about are considered classics and may cost more than some that are 10 or 20 years newer. Also, parts might be hard to come by.
