At one time I had the same idea. Found me a 1947 Farmall B in fairly good shape ..... I thought, paid $700.00 for it. Sheet metal was all there and in good shape. Rear tires were good, front fair. I started cleaning it up to give it new paint. Found a cracked engine block, had it fixed. So I went further, by the time I was ready for a mower I had just over $1300.00 into it. Time to find a mower... new was my only option, at the price of $1578.00, that was mower only! No installation. Now I would have had just under $3000.00 into it and all I could do with it is mow grass with it. Also it is alot bigger and heavier than, lets say your average 20 hp LGT... plus the LGT is more versatile and easier to manuever. Just my .02!
