They have all changed. Other than the fact they are designed to pull tillage and harvesting implements and have round wheel, except for the tracked ones. And you hear all kinds of claims. Like IH had the first diesel tractor when Cat sold ag crawler tractors with a diesel before IH sold diesel wheel tractors. JD may not have been the first with live IPTO in 1948 when they had it as an option on the R but they beat IH to the punch on that too. That's just for the guys who like to attack JD. I have NO loyalty to any brand but there are some I try to stay away from. AGCO has pretty much dropped the AC and White paint and only kept the MF name alive. But the only major brand that is still in the same hands so to speak is JD. AC, White, Oliver and MM all died when AC shut down. MF sold out to AGCO. IH died and was acquired by Case which sold out and is now owned by FIAT. Ford got out of the AG business and was absorbed by NH who has now been acquired by FIAT. So really the only 2 tractor/equipment manufactures that have survived at Cat and JD.
But onto the OP's question. No, other than round wheels and piston engines nothing has survived. There have been so many improvements in engine and transmission design that nothing has survived except the paint colors on certain brands.

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
