I am just starting the tractor hobby and have been reading these posts. This is what it is, a HOBBY! Not a business. Poor investment to "restore" one? YES! Thats why most are (to use a automobile hobby term) "Restified/restification" not quite restored by def., just fixed up to "your" specs. Some people like the mechanics of the restoration while others enjoy the finished product more, some both. Complete restorations COST SERIOUS bucks! My 11 year old asked my "Why are you even bothering? Why not just go buy a new tractor?" Truth is, we don't even need a tractor! It's about the challenge to take something old and make it look new or close to it, to appriciate an era that will never return, all the while spending time with my Son. I am fasinated with tractors, only ever being around three my whole life never going to a tractor show till in my 20's. No matter what the tractor it always helps me to remember my Grandpa puttin out his drive across the road to go to the field on that ol' JD "A". Or the hay rides behind that overheating 8N Ford, or Pap bladeing snow on that old Case. If a man wants to spend a war pension on his restoration, by all means go ahead!!! Instead of critisizing him over it, how about "a job well done!" Don't let jealousy get in that way of your admiration of someone elses ability. Just my 2 cents. My Farmall A will never be "perfect" Heck im not even gonna straighten the sheetmetal, it earned the "character" marks and there they will stay.
