Just look at 20 year old cars. The electronics, sensors, and injectors are no longer available in most cases. So the cars get scrapped. I remember my dad saying back then that the electronics and computers do a lot to make them run cleaner, make more power and get better mileage, but when these things start crapping out, we'll be left with a bunch of decent cars that won't run right or at all, and can't be made to. All due to derelict, obsolete electronics. He was right, and he was an electrical engineer! And the build quality is another story. They just don't seem as durable. So I think it's the same with tractors. As long as the parts are made, they can be rebuilt. Same with antique vehicles.
