NY 986: I agree with your comment that there are fewer guys wanting older tractors. I bleed Green but it is more newer Green, 70s and 80s. I started out on a JD "G". After 8-10 hours the "joy" of a hand clutch, manual steering, nosey,tractor is pretty much gone. A lot of these old tractors are physical to drive/use. If I fight a JD two cylinder around at a parade or show I am sore the next day. My body remembers all the stuff I did the last 50-60 years and reminds me NOT to do it anymore. LOL
Also to anyone other than a collector or small acreage guy the majority of them have zero value on a working farm today. I just posted the other day about how a JD 4020 is too small for even a large auger tractor these days. Years ago a neighbor had a JD 630 with three point and Power steering. At the time I thought that would be a wonderful tractor to own and use. Now I would not pay very much for one and even then I would not use it any.
I know this will make some fellas on here kind of mad but it is just the truth. Power steering, good brakes, live/independent PTOs are all standard on newer tractors for a reason. 70-80 years ago a farmer was stepping out from behind a team of horses. So just about anything that you could ride and not feed 365 was a heck of an improvement. The look back 40 years and you see all brands made their tractors easier to operate.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. 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.
