Maybe it's the sounds of days gone by. An old engine working whether it be 2, 4 or, 6 cylinders. The feel of a steel steering wheel and a steel pan seat. The thought of satisfaction you get for getting an old stuck rusty tractor in working condition and painted better than the factory had it when it was new. Maybe just the thought that it's better than your wife because if it starts giving you greif, you can just shut it off and it's quiet. I started with a 27 J.D. model D when I was in 5th grade and that was 38 years ago. I'm not brand fussy. I like them all.I have mostly Oliver with McCormick, Allis, Ford and the D. I bought some to fix and sell but, they just keep hanging around. I will not restore one to just show. I enjoy hearing and feeling them work. Don't know exactly what it is but, I hope those feelings never leave me. When it's my time to go, I hope that I'm working on a tractor and I hope that I get to go to tractor heaven
