Well, by that definition, I'm doing that, to a point. I'm "restoring" this tractor to distillate operating capability by adding a starter tank, replacing the sediment bowl to dual operation, and I'm replacing the manifold with one that (I hope) will have the ability to switch between the 3 heat selections, plus a heat shield, and I'm even going to get shutters back on. I'm restoring the electrical system to be how it was orginally, with cotton wrapped wires, the correct starter button, ignition switch, light switch, and voltage regulator. I've replaced numerous bolts with 'dot' bolts. No part of my tractor isn't getting attention, with an eye towards orginality. Even the decals will be correct.
So, it's going to have a very shiney paint job. It's 65 years old and still runs. In my opinion, it's earned the right to look good.
