Just look at the plastic. A 1940 H Farmall (hardly any plastic) and a new tractor (plastic everywhere.) You can just simply sand blast tractor made of metal and repaint it but what will you do with plastic everywhere. The plastic will be bleached out, scratched up, and cracked and will have to have something done with it. Electrical components go bad after awhile and after a tractor sits for a good 10 or 15 years and enough electrical components go bad how are you going to figure that all out. It is hard enough just to figure out what's wrong when there is just one electrical problem not to mention numerous. We can only hope that the tractor mechanics that are working at dealerships now will take up the trade of restoring tractors when they retire. I think once the older simpler tractors are all either parted out or restored the tractor restorers will be a dieing breed.
