If you looked at newer ones (or new), and were dis-satisfied with the prices, and are thinking you will save thousands by getting something old, you are correct. But you will save thousands by paying a price. The price being, when you look at getting an old tractor, you run into things like no live hydraulics, no live p.t.o, no power steering, the list goes on. You may perhaps find some tractors with these features, but the early systems left a little to be desired. And likewise, if these systems were added on as in an aftermarket or homemade attempt.
Bottom line, if you go older to get into something cheaper, there is a level of 'making do' that does along with that. Just dealing with an old machine brings that about, even if you find something that has the features your looking for. So just remmember that, when you jump into something old to save all that money.
I hate to admit it, but you can't really find 'equivelant' for lesser money just by buying something 60 to 70 years old. So just keep that in mind.
You don't mention saving money, or how much you got to spend, or your intentions and reasoning down that avenue, but if money wasn't an issue, you likely wouldn't be looking at old stuff instead of new, now would ya??
Probably the worst thing about buying something old, is a little down time, and realizing it isn't quite as handy as you thought it would be. Such as your neighbors Kubota.

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
