As far as equipment goes, get something that isnt so obsolete that you have a hard time getting parts for. A little price studying wouldnt hurt either. The ads on this site as well as places like fastline and tractorhouse can help you locate equipment and/or see what the going rate is. As far as cutting equipment goes, New Holland is a good brand for older stuff as thre are several still around and parts are still available. If you're thinking along the sickle mower lines, International, John Deere have many parts still available. You might be able to find a used Kosch or Rowse mower as well. (Both are made in Nebraska and the companies are still in business. Kosch in Columbus, Ne and Rowse in Burwell, Ne) The ford massey, and allis chalmers mowers are getting kind of obsolete. New Holland rakes were mentioned in other posts and are still really good. NH and JD square balers are still reliable as was also mentioned in previous posts. Another tool you might look into would be a hay moisture monitor. It can take some of the guess work out of whether it is too wet or dry to bale.

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.
