What would be a good starter John Deere Tractor Project?

My young son is totally into John Deere Tractors. I am thinking about getting a 30 hp antique model to play around on. One that needs some TLC, but not one that needs to be broken in half for a ground up restoration.

If you were going to start with that, with a good stand blasting and coat of paint, ease of finding parts, and ease of entry, what would be a good John Deere tractor to start off with?
The tractor is more for Daddy right now, but would like to be able to have stuff like this in the backyard so I my son progresses, he will have an understanding and appreciation. I am not getting it so he can operate on his own.

For a backyard tractor the A series may be a bit much. In it’s day it was considered a midsized multiple use machine. There were only two models bigger, the D and the G. The model B was one of the most popular small sizes but the L, M and H model John Deeres are all smaller than the B. The model isn’t the factor of what you will need to do to restore. They were all quality machines in their day and what they will need to be restored depends on the condition when you buy. Opt for a row crop (wide stance) front end since they are more stable. A consideration for a new driver, be it you or your boy when his turn comes.
