It might make the prices of some machines higher but I don"t think it"ll effect the "average" collector too much. Most of the average guys are looking for something to play with and drive around, and even use on occasion, not a perfect numbers matching machine to put up in a garage and do nothing but look at. I think eventually it"ll actually make restoring the older tractors alot easier for everybody since the need for reproduction parts will develop a larger market for them just like it has in cars. For instance you can just about build a brand new "55-"57 Chevy soley from reproduction parts because there is just about everything available to do it now from the frame to full steel bodies along with everything in between. The worst it can do,the way I see it, is make it more of a lucrative hobby for those that are interested in actually doing the restoration themselves and then selling the machine. In years past you could easily sink more into a machine than it was worth but with the prices getting a little higher for restored machines it can make it a lucrative business as well as a hobby.
