I was at a farm/estate sale.
An item came up for bid that on a good day was only worth a few hundred dollars.
Two bidders kept going back and forth until they were well into the thousands of dollars.
The auctioneer stopped the sale and got down to have a chat with the bidders.
Turned out to be that a sister of the deceased who no longer lived in the area had wanted the item for sentimental reasons, however it happened although the bidders (distant cousins) knew each other they didn't know they were both given the same pay whatever it takes instructions.
Once they got things figured out the item re-sold for a few hundred dollars.
Makes me wonder if something similar happened with this tractor.
Maybe two bickering brothers that both want to own grandpa's first tractor that will pay whatever it takes to spite the other.

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.
