Thing of it is they don't care what went behind that old tractor. And why should they? Old implements in general are not historically significant unless of course they are the first to use an idea/type. Other than that it's just an old implement often overshadowed by time. I know, bad attitude on my part.
What has to be considered by each farmer is practicality/cost effectiveness. If for example you work on an implement for 2 weeks to use it one day and this happens every year is it practical in the eyes of the user? Parts availability is another factor. After all, your time is worth something. IMO at least minimum wage. Spend 40 hours looking for that's NLA? Gotta add that you time is worth to the price of that part. Gotta also figure out what you want to be doing? Wrenching on old junk? Fishing with grandkids? Spending time with the wife?
In the end? Most young people today don't really care what grandpa did for a living much less details of that job. That don't mean they don't love grandpa, but what he did for a living isn't what's really important to them.
