Mike, I'm retired. In 73 I needed a license, which didn't cost me anything, except a BS and an MS in five years to get a lifetime license. I can't tell you what it costs today, over $150 to get a license and you have to pass a test to get a license, which is no longer a lifetime. Instead you have to go back to college and take more hours in the summer. So it keeps the state colleges busy.
40 years ago I saw licenses coming down the pipeline. There are many jobs that require a license. So you ask whay good are they. Well it keeps BUBBA form wiring a house in the City of Terre Haute. Everyone form tree trimmers, contractors, electricians, HVAC, barbers, plumbers, heavy equipment operaters, welders, and the list goes on, is required to be not only license or certification, some have to be Bonded to. Being a lawyer you know some need a bond to get out of jail too.
So who benefits? In my opinion, the consumer and the people in the business who want to run a legit business, pay taxes, pay a good wage and not be under cut by a fly by not night BUBBA, who wants work for cash only.
I see a licenses and certifications as a cost of doing business and a win, win.

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.
