Working on a 1974 Ford tractor should be a breeze for a guy who restored a 1930s truck! We had one like that on our tree farm back in the ‘70s but it would have been old already at the time. The remark about 1940s parts makes perfect sense, I don’t think that they changed much over the decades. Incremental change if anything.

Should come in handy. I’m a city boy but Machinery Hill at the Minnesota State Fair was one of my favorite things as a kid. They used to have every farm tractor and implement imaginable on display and you could climb all over them. They probably sold a lot of equipment at the fair.
