Dunno, I see a lot of guys go through a lot of dough and a lot of hours making their tractor look as good as or even better than new. And I enjoy seeing them and yaking with the owners. About how they brought it back from the dead or how this was their Grand Dad's and he bought it new and he gave it to them and he restored it. I guess that's why I go to a bunch of different shows and auctions every year. Secretly though, the tractors I like the best are the ones that still have a little manure or mud on them. Put me onto whole row of perfectly restored Farmall Hs or Ford Ns or JD or Allis Bs. The one I'll ususally go talk to the owner about is the one with a few dings or scratches. He'll tell you he just got done cutting some limbs with his cordwood saw or plowing his daughter's garden or bush hogging the road banks or mowing some hay with it. Sometimes it kind of grieves me to see so many old tractors just sitting around with all that pretty paint on them and hardly ever taken out of the garage. They remind me of my nephew - big strapping 16 year old who hasn't anything to do except stay in the house and play video games. If he was mine I'd have him out there getting a little dirty and sweating some and maybe a getting a couple scratched knuckles. I'd have him working. Just like I do my tractors...
