George-
Check "YT Photos" for 54 JD70 which was just posted last night. If you could visualize this 70 as it was two years ago, with the head and motor parts here, the tin work there, the carburetor somewhere else, tires shot and barely holding air,etc.,...-that's why I say you should go for that 70 diesel. Now-obviously, it takes time and $$$ but with JD's, Farmalls, Fords, A-C's, Cases, Olivers, M-H, any of these, they've really got to be in tough shape to be too far gone. Also, I am sensing a rising interest in JD 70's lately so that's maybe why am bubbling over to you a little bit too much. There were times during the "revival process" of our 70 that I wondered why I had become so feeble-minded to have gotten into this; I even said things that were a little stronger than "shoot and "gosh-darn." But now, I consider it be one our our better accomplishments, the tough times are forgotten, the costs justified (by me at least) and my 1954 JD 70 is not for sale! So go for it and have fun. There's an unbelievable amount of knowledge on this board and I haven't found anyone yet who isn't willing to help.
