I will put it this way. It is hard to recover large repairs/investments when buying and reselling equipment. To do a 12 volt conversion and a complete new wiring harness you can easily have $1200-1500 invested.
From your post below (JD forum) your JD 4020 is not a late model HIGH value one. A 1968 JD 4020 Diesel power shift is a good tractor but the value is not going to be any where as high as the later side console models bring. It has to do with what the collector market is wanting to buy. That is later model JD 20 series tractors. Your JD 1965 is more of a worked/using tractor over a collector tractor. Therefore the value is much less. I would say yours even with the recent overhauled motor would top out at $8000-9000 without new tires and good paint. You can not put new tires and good paint on it for what the resale value would increase.
To just resell it I would repair the harness. Get the charging system working to were it will start on its own reliably. Then quit. If you do more you more than likely will not recover the cost of the repairs.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
