When buying tools remember one thing that guy who comes buy the shop with tools for sale is getting a huge commission on them.
Personally I like to go to garage sales Estate sales and look for the Old Photo line tools The Black line tool (no chrome) are the top of the line and people with sticky fingers won't pick them up. But they are the best tools I have in my box. Also find and Older Husky Ratchet these have small heads and tough gears I have used mine with 2 ft. or longer cheater bars and its still going strong. Don't get all hung up on beauty in your tool box some of the best tools are not so pretty but you will learn to love them. Snap-om tools are pretty but very slippery when covered in oil and will cause many a busted knuckle. If you are working on tractors then you will need to good tools that don't slip because of the hydraulics, you just can't work on them with out being covered with oil. Remember those manuals were printed for the mechanics not the do-it yourselfers read and follow them, if some old guy laughs at you then ask him a few questions about how to do some very difficult setup on a new vehicle, he will leave real fast and never bother you again.

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.
