You asked, so I'll share a couple of thoughts with you.....
First, speaking only for myself, I am so sick of the "reality show" format I could puke.
Second, this so-called hobby-problem over a lack of youth interest is universal; Model A Fords, antique Colt six-shooters, old outboard motors, on and on - ad nauseam.
You work your tail off for 40 or 50 years, and if you were half way successful, you get a little time and money on your hands and you get a little nostalgic about things that made for good memories in your youth.
I've got two grown sons; both are working long hours, paying for houses and saving for college tuition for their two sons. Neither gives a rip about a Colt six-shooter or a Model A Ford. They do show some interest in Glock pistols and 1992 Mustang GT's - but neither has one - yet.
My sons are probably not going to be any more interested in Farmall tractors than I am in Cyrus McCormick's horse-drawn reaper. Other than a few rare exceptions, that's just the way it is........

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
