The tire painting does distract from the appearance of the restoration I think, but its their tractor and they can do as they please as long as their happy. Let us not forget we're in this hobby to save these tractors. At least the machines are'nt meeting an early fate with the scrap heap. As others have said the perfect police can get to me as well. Some of my restorations I try to do as original as possible and others I do what is most useful or practical. We have a 47 Farmall M that we repainted and did some regasketing and transmission work to in 99 to prepare it for a show that was hosting IH that year. That tractor also see's extensive use on our farm so it was not a nitpick restoration. When we went to the show I was sitting on one of our other tractors next to it and these two old guys came along and started tearing into what was wrong with the tractor. Luckily they didnt address me or I would have lost it on them right there. It just amazes me how critical people can be about something. Maybe my hood does have a very small gap where it meets the grill, and it has live hydraulics on it like a SMTA, but thats nobody elses business but mine. Anyway sorry for the long post guys but I guess it helps to vent somewhere now and then. Take care all.
