That's great, that he had a chance to link up to the past again, and you were a good audience.
I had a real estate closing once where a 90+ year old man was selling his house to a couple of kids. He'd lived in it since the 1930's, had raised his family there, etc. He bought before the advent of "title insurance", and instead had an "abstract of title". For those not familiar, it is a sheaf of copies of all the title documents back to the federal Patent. The first document was the deed from the United States to the founder of the town, after whom the city park is named, etc.
The old gent was very proud of this item, but I could tell the kids were pretty shallow, and didn't give a whit about it. I was just hoping they would humor him, and not say something to hurt his feelings. Thankfully, they didn't, and acted like it was a big deal. The old fellow went away happy, feeling that his house was in good hands.
I wasn't so sure. I'm sure there have been other owners since, and I wonder if the abstract is still around, or in a landfill somewhere.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
