I know exactly what you're talking about, but to me the value doesn't really matter. I buy, restore, and use tractors I enjoy operating. I have over twenty tractors that are all in running condition and are used to farm with. The oldest I have is a 1939 DC Case, and the newest is a 1971 John Deere 4020D. When I buy a tractor, I bring it home and run it about a year to figure out any mechanical needs it has. I then fix them and give the tractor a fresh coat of paint and decals, then to work it goes. I do take special care to not scratch them up, etc. I have people stop quite often while I'm working in the field and ask if they can watch, listen to, and take pictures of the tractor as it works. To me that is where the value of my old tractors is.
