CNKS said: (quoted from post at 17:11:21 08/23/09) I don't worry about minor details, or the correct police.
Personally, I like the correct police. I find them very amusing as well as a great source of entertainment......
Seriously, I have three letter series farmalls; none have been restored; probably none will as long as I own them. One will not be repainted, one was already repainted when I got it, and one will be repainted in the future. I enjoy using them and just simply playing with them. All three will be preserved. I try to keep them clean and in good mechanical condition.
One of the things I like best about this hobby is that it is so laid back - tractors in all kinds of condition are welcomed by most of the participants. There is not a heavy emphesis on judging at shows - and I certainly hope there never will be. (It would be a BIG mistake if shows drifted in that direction.) Antique tractor people, for the most part, are above average folks, in my opinion.
Now, back to the correct police..... fun to bash, but they can be a great resource if you want to know how something was originally. So, they do have a very useful purpose. Plus, I believe many of them are trying to be helpful, although often they don't seem to know how without sounding critical.
