Demand for old tractors is DECREASING. Predominantly "old guys" make up the market, and there are fewer and fewer old guys around every day.
When so many of the old machines are going to the scrapyard because nobody wants them, how can you hope to market a "kit" for a tractor that nobody wants, at 10X the cost?

If you want an example of a "new-old" tractor, look at the CaseIH Farmall 140A. It is a Ford 7710 underneath, but modernized with a shuttle shift, modern engine, and modern safety features.
