Tractor restorations are a little like part time farming- you want to keep the output low, that way you won't lose so much money.

There are a few guys who make money restoring/ building cars, but the only way is to know the market for the finished product, and start with a car thats going to be worth over a hundred grand when finished. I don't care how frugally you restore a '50 Plymouth 4 door, you're gonna lose your shirt.

The problem with tractor restoration is that with only a very few exceptions, like UDLX Molines or 3 digit Oliver GMs or some of the hi-crops and orchards, there just aren't very many with a final value that exceeds the cost of restoration.

If you're going to restore grandpa's H, it better be for love, not for profit.
