All depends on how you use the tractor. If older, with soft seats, they will wear prematurely with heavy use. But how many old tractors get used heavy and steady anymore? I suspect most, when new, got used more in a month then many get used in 10 years now.
The diesel fuel thing is a bit different. Mechanical injection pumps were designed for fuel that no longer exists (for the most part). The new fuel, by law, has lube addtive put back in that brings it up near what it ought to be - but not quite. So, if you do not use an additive, your pump will wear slightly faster. Considering the main moving parts of a typical injection pump can last 1,000,000 engine hours with good fuel - suppose you cut that life in half. Are you ever going to notice? I doubt it. But, you have no idea how many hours they already have.
There's a lot of myth around with mechanical pumps. Partly because pumps, when redone in shops, get sold as "rebuilt" and they are not. Often when you buy a "rebuilt" pump, most of the moving parts have been re-used, as-is. They last an amazingly long time.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
