That was me that made that comment, and I'm stickin' to it. The big reason that all cars have A/C and all those toys is because that is how the dealers order them in. We have no real choice. If you want a new car, you take what is on the dealers lot.
Now let's go back a few years. The dealers had only 2 or 3 brand new "demonstrator" cars on the show room floor. Those cars WERE for sale, but if you wanted something a little fancier, or a little more "plain jane", the dealer would build an order to your exact specifications, send that order to the factory, they would build it, and you got exactly what you wanted. Can't do that anymore.
As for "comfortable" tractors, we were installing cabs with heat and A/C on our tractors way back in the '60s, and MM had the "comfort-tractor" UDLX in the '40s. IHC also offered a cab for the Farmall H and M.
If the Case DC, or the Farmall M were being built today, they would probably be offered with an optional cab, and if you were farming just 80 to 160 acres, that is all you would need.

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.
