As other guys have mentioned starting condition is the #1 thing to consider when you talk cost of restoration. But one thing that no one has mentioned is the rarety of the make and model as well as your location. I am currently restoring a Cockshutt 60 standard, and where I am in Canada old Oliver parts are not common. Not to say they are imposible to find it is just that they are usually order only and of course you pay darned dear for them. If I was restoring a Farmall H I could do it for less money. So add to your list of considerations - rarety in your area. By the way, so far I don't have much invested ($700 Canadian) but I don't have much done either.
