Be sure to spell out the depth of restoration as understood by both parties. The replacement of bearings and clutches. The use of in specification original components.

Paint that matches the Prussian Orange of the original in formula might not be available. What is the "look" to be attempted in the finish. Are all reproduction components to be cataloged. As a museum tractor, should it be constructed to be preserved with corrosion prevention in the cylinders, and no fuel in the tank, no coolant, etc? Should a battery look-a-like black box be used to prevent corrosion and danger. What provision should be made to prevent engine rotation, or is it going to be rotated on occasion, or used in events. Are payments going to be made at specific times or construction points to allow reasonable expectation of income? Is there an account for purchases and expenses? Make sure there is a signoff of acceptance of the contract to relieve you of callbacks or stop payment issues.
