To me it don't matter. I love going to tractor shows and just looking. I'd never, at this point in my life, collect or restore. All my stuff is working equipment. I think an old H with a 12 volt conversion is just as good as an all original painted up one.
I know a guy who has a very pretty, all original H with a 5k paint job. He drove that tractor home from the dealership, at age 12 when his dad got it new. Ok no big deal. I can see to where that is important to him.
Know another guy that hates collectors. He is on SS disability and VA disability. He makes about 800 a month. He'd like to have an H or WD45 but they are just out of his price range. He blames the collector. He refuses to see that if it wasn't for the collector that these old tractors would have been crushed long ago as they were phased out of farming.
So when you get to internals for both the "correct" restoration or a daily driver it really don't matter. I rather doubt that any old tractor is 100% correct unless it went from the factory to a museum. All the others have at least had an engine rebuild and new clutch. Bet most of those were not done with OEM parts.

There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
