In that timeframe, in relation to tractors... I would say the biggest change was power. You went from a tractor that probably topped around 60 HP in 1950 to several models topping 200 in the row crop class and near 800 in the FWD class by that time. Cabs would be the second biggest change, particularly on Deere's part where you went from a 2 lunger with hand clutch and pan seat all the way to a reasonably well designed, ergonomic, comfortable SoundGuard safety cab on the 40 series.

Hydraulic systems also made some major advances in that time frame; again particularly on the part of Deere... but I think really the most advanced and reliable systems didn't come until the early-mid 90's.
