first you better get them to put down what they figure restored means, a full resteration if you do all the work means the tractor is in as new condition down to the last bolt, mechanicly as well as cosmeticly,if you do everything yourself today you may wind up with around 7 to 10 grand in it and could take years to do, 2 dumptruck loads of gravel hardly equals that, now if by restored, they mean refurbished instead ,2 loads is still way light but your not into it as bad, when i refurbish a tractor and ive done several, it means that when done it runs and operates as it should and i put on a 20/20 paint job, [looks good from 20 feet away or passing by it at 20mph] the cost of that depends on what that tractor needs to start with ,that can be anything from a full tune up, and its fuel system repaired/ cleaned, to get it running, to needing some or all of its major componets overhauled, you first need to evaluate what the tractor needs before you agree to anything , and find out as much info as you can about when it ran last, and what condition it was in then, as far as what worked, and what didnt, your playing with trouble here, and you need to handel this carefully, or you'll wind up loosing your tail on the deal
