I think only the less common ones will go up. The rest have hit their peak. Parts are getting very difficult to find for some models so that in itself discourages collecting. When I started collecting, finding a complete parts tractor was easy in my area--not anymore. Some parts just aren't available anymore and if you can find NOS be prepared to pay excessive prices ($2K for WD-9 pistons & sleeves! Yikes!).
I am considering selling my small collection and anyone that is interested only wants to cherry pick 2 or 3 of them. For the remaining ones, I get offered a few dollars over scrap price.
As for making money by restoring tractors, some guys get lucky once in a while with the right tractor, most do not. If I invested the money I have in my collection 25 years ago I would have more money than my collection is worth today. A tractor collection can eat money and lots of it--oil, tires, batteries, gummed up fuel systems, etc.
