Two thoughts. First, I don't know how big you are or how far you want to get into farming. If you're small, you don't have the acreage and can't afford to buy the machinery to farm. If you have a few acres, you may get the ground custom farmed, and avoid the expense of machinery. Have someone else plant and harvest, you pay for inputs and the cost of having the work done. That will save you a bunch of bucks.
If you're a bit larger, and have the ground, and are dumb enough to want to be a farmer, hardheaded, stubborn, don't mind hard work for low or no pay, and insist on loosing your fortune or at least not leaving any for the kids, start by getting your crops put in on a custom basis, visit the sales as you have money, and slowly buy the machinery you need at a lower price. Add ground when you can, and treat your landlords well. Build when you can, and when it pencils out. By the time the pencil is worn out, and it's time to retire, the kids can take over or sell your spare parts repository for scrap, and you sit back with your aches and pains and think of all the fun you had getting there.

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.
