The 1970's were the low water mark for 1940's and 1950's gas tractors price wise. You could buy anything for a fraction of what they have sold for in recent times. Good H's and M's 500 dollars each all day long. Hand start Deere's maybe 200 bucks. Late A 400 dollars. N series Fords did better but the prices were still restrained at 1,500-1,600 dollars for late side distributor 8N's. The nearest IH dealer would only have so many old gas tractors on the lot then they would walk away from any for trade. I remember I was with dad for parts one time and the two co-owners were talking about a deal they were working on and they decided that at 4 H's they had enough so they made a little better price on a cash deal. By the way MM U's and Z's along with MH 44 were around 2-300 dollars then as well. I went to an auction as a high schooler during the early 1980's and the JD 630 I was targeting went for 3,300 dollars so at the point the rise was starting in the collector market.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
